Multinational appliance and electronics company LG has initiated a recall of more than 137,000 of its stoves sold in Canada, citing potential fire hazards after receiving reports of injuries and incidents associated with the appliances.
The recall was prompted by reports of accidental activation of the front knobs on several different models of slide-in and freestanding LG electric ranges, Health Canada said in a Feb. 26 advisory.
