Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20220518-5E5C8-2147356144. Severity: Injury, First Aid Received by Non-Medical Professional. Product: General Electric The model # is -JGBS60DEK6WW. (General Electric 30" white Gas stove. The stove was made in Mexico. Lowes delivered and installed it using new hoses on the back which my daughter also purchased.). Incident: There are 2 things that need to be checked out on this General Electric gas stove. My daughter bought this for me this past February so it is new. The first thing is that where the controls are located on the top has an extremely sharp lower section that is open and when I was wiping the stove down I received a very bad gash on my hand. I think this part should be protected somehow. The metal that cut my hand was just about razor sharp. The next is even more dangerous. I was baking a Tri tip the other night and had a glass measuring cup with a knife and a spoon in it on the top of the stove where the burners are located. When I picked this measuring cup up it was so hot it burned my hand. I had to remove it with a dish towel. I had previously noticed that anything that was on the top when the oven was in use was extremely warm and wondered a bit about it. But I was shocked at how hot the glass measuring cup was. This could be very dangerous to someone.
