Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20170718-01E43-2147398865. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: LG LDG4315st. Incident: This happens at least every other day. I have an LG model LDG4315ST gas range. The knobs for the burners sit at a 45-degree angle right on the front. When cooking or just working around the stove, it is very easy to bump the knobs with my belly and turn them on. Sometimes they'll light, and more than once this has been a real hazard. (I lit my bathrobe sleeve on fire once.) Sometimes they'll turn past the electric starter without lighting. That happened once and I didn't notice and I left the house for a couple hours. I came home to a house full of gas. I shut off the burner and I opened all the windows and left for a while. I believe that a protective bar should be available so that the knobs are not easily turned on. A VERY real hazard.
