Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20170831-B3230-2147397756. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: LG LG Gas range, Model LDG4313BD. Source model text: Ldg4313bd. Incident: The control knobs for the range are extremely easy to engage. Numerous times in just a few short months, the knobs have been bumped, leaving gas to leak in the house for extended periods of time. It is only upon entering the room that you smell the gas, and realize the stove buttons have been Twisted a bit. Two other times, when reaching past the stove into a cupboard, the knobs have been bumped with a hip of an adult, just enough, to engage the igniter, lighting the burner while someone was reaching over the stove.
