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.”
