UPDATE: LG Company Recalls 500,000 Ranges After Fires, Injuries, And Pet Deaths.
We previously reported that LG Electronics is recalling approximately 500,000 ranges nationwide after dozens of fires caused property damage, injuries, and the deaths of pets, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The recall involves ranges with front-mounted knobs that can be accidentally turned on. The CPSC has received 86 reports of unintentional activation, including 28 fires, five of which caused over $340,000 in property damage. Eight minor injuries, including burns, have been reported, and at least three fires resulted in pet deaths. The recalled ranges, sold at retailers including Best Buy, Costco, Home Depot, and Lowe’s between 2015 and January 2025, retailed from $1,400 to $2,650. LG is offering free warning labels and instructions for placement, urging consumers to use the control lock function and keep children and pets away from the knobs. This recall follows a similar Samsung recall earlier this year for over 1.1 million ranges due to fire hazards. The CPSC is investigating accidental range activation incidents across multiple manufacturers, citing hundreds of incidents, including fatalities and injuries.
Interaction with LG has been less than productive. LG is not stepping up quickly enough to remediate this clear and present danger to families to whom they have sold these stoves which are hazards to the lives of their customers. If your family has suffered financial loss to your residence or injuries or even death from an LG range fire, contact www.FightingForFamilies.com to fight for your family. The laws differ from state to state in the U.S. so need to employ legal counsel to fight for you to recover for your losses caused by an LG stove fire.
Some of LG’s proposed solutions are to simply mail a label to place on their dangerous stoves. This is inadequate and an insult to families who trusted LG to provide them with a safe appliance. If you are a landlord you need to understand the danger to your renters and the liability exposure to you should an LG stove fire cause damage or injury, and especially where the danger of the stoves is now common published knowledge. If you are a homeowner who has suffered damage to your residence or injuries or even death to your family members from an LG range fire, contact www.FightingForFamilies.com today.
There is never a charge to talk about your case.
