LG is recalling about 500,000 stoves that caused more than 28 fires.
The front-mounted knobs on the recalled electric ranges can be accidentally activated, according to the CPSC. The affected models were sold at Best Buy, Costco, and other appliance stores over the past 10 years, and have been responsible for fires causing “extensive property damage,” minor injuries, and even pet deaths.
Instead of repairs, exchanges, or refunds, owners can contact LG for a free warning label reminding them to use lock out functions that disable the heating elements.
