Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20240814-506FD-2147337220. Severity: Injury, First Aid Received by Non-Medical Professional. Matched catalog product: LG LRE4215ST. Source model text: LRE421***. Incident: My cat activated my LG stovetop by nudging a front-mounted knob. Thankfully I was home when this happened. As I had placed a hat and gloves on the stovetop, a fire was started, which I was able to extinguish. Minor smoke inhalation occured to both me and my brother. Unfortunately I now have a clump of melted polyester adhered to the top of the flat glass surface, and cannot use said electric burner.
