SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20260518-9C645-2147319093. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Samsung NX58K9850SSAA (Samsung gas range with front-facing burner control knobs. Stainless steel finish. Slide-in style range with five burner gas cooktop and front-mounted control knobs positioned along the front edge of the stove. Model number NX58K9850SS/AA. The product was purchased in approximately 2019 for normal residential kitchen use. The stove includes large metallic front burner knobs with an angled layout and digital oven controls positioned in the center rear panel. The concern specifically involves the front control knob design and how easily the burner knobs can be activated.). Incident: I am reporting a safety concern involving a Samsung gas range, model NX58K9850SS/AA, with front-facing burner control knobs. My 12-month-old grandson was able to reach the front burner control knobs, turn one of the knobs, and ignite the gas burner. No injury or fire occurred, but the burner did ignite successfully. This created a serious safety concern because nearby combustible materials such as paper towels or kitchen items could have caught fire, and there was also concern about potential burn injury to the child. The stove was being used in a normal residential kitchen environment. The concern involves how easily the front control knobs can be activated unintentionally by a young child. After the incident, I attempted to locate compatible child-safety knob covers or protective devices for this specific model. Due to the tight spacing and angled front-knob layout, standard child-safety products do not fit or function properly on this model. I contacted Samsung regarding the concern. Samsung Executive Care opened service ticket [REDACTED] and arranged for a technician evaluation. During the service visit, the technician acknowledged that the knobs easily turned and activated the burners. While I was present on speakerphone, the technician also communicated
