A MUM is fuming after part of her cooker exploded "like a bomb" and showered her in hot glass.
Kellie Murray, of Coulton Avenue, Northfleet, jumped back in shock when a glass pane smashed after she opened her oven door.
She says hot glass sprayed up her legs and spread 17ft across her dining room and kitchen.
And Miss Murray says if her 11-month-old daughter Isabelle was sat in the kitchen, as she was the day before, she would have been sprayed with glass.
Miss Murray claims this is the second time the inner glass pane of her cooker has smashed.
In September last year she heard "an almighty bang" while she was cooking.
The glass had smashed but the oven door was closed, trapping the broken glass inside.
Furniture store MFI, which fitted her kitchen in July last year, replaced the pane.
Miss Murray claims when she contacted MFI after the second incident on August 16, the company initially refused to help her as her guarantee had expired.
The company eventually offered to replace the broken glass free of charge.
But Miss Murray says she is too scared to use her oven after these two incidents.
The 23-year-old wants a product recall of the oven, saying "it could happen to someone else and they might not be so lucky".
Trading Standards is investigating the incident after being contacted by Miss Murray.
The day service co-ordinator says it took her 24-year-old partner Danny Matthews 45 minutes to clear up the broken glass.
She said: "The glass exploded and went everywhere and I screamed and leapt back.
"I got red marks on my legs but I was not hurt, I was more in shock. It was like a bomb.
"I was in shock when it happened and in shock from how I was treated by MFI."
An MFI spokesman said: "All of our oven doors are compliant with UK standards.
"Miss Murray has declined the offer of a replacement oven door.
"MFI is sorry this gesture has been declined and would like to resolve the matter as soon as possible."
