LG Electronics Canada, Inc. (LG), in cooperation with Health Canada, is announcing a voluntary recall of certain electric slide-in and freestanding ranges with front-mounted knobs. Front-mounted knobs on these ranges can be activated by accidental contact by humans or pets, posing a safety hazard.
LG is undertaking this voluntary action as part of its commitment to product safety and customer service.
Consumers with affected ranges should contact LG directly for a free warning label and placement instructions. The label reminds consumers to use LG’s Lock Out/Control Lock function on the range control panel to disable activation of the heating elements when the range is not in use.
LG ranges also include additional safety features such as a “Burner On” indicator light, an alert that sounds when the burner is activated, and a hot surface indicator light. Consumers are reminded to familiarize themselves with the operation of their range, and to follow the instruction and warnings contained in the owner’s manual.
