Consumer electronics company LG is withdrawing hundreds of thousands of electric range units from the market citing fire risk posed by the products.
“This recall involves LG Slide-In Ranges and Freestanding Ranges with front-mounted knobs,” the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said in a Feb. 6 notice. “Front-mounted knobs on the recalled ranges can be activated by accidental contact by humans or pets, posing a fire hazard.”
Around 500,000 units, manufactured in Korea and Mexico, are being recalled.
The ranges were sold nationwide via major retailers such as Home Depot, Lowe’s, Best Buy, and other appliance stores as well as through LG.com. The items were priced between $1,400 and $2,650 and were sold from 2015 through January 2025. In total, 22 model numbers are being recalled….
