Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20241029-43C79-2147335658. Matched catalog product: LG LTEL7337F. Incident: We recently received our [REDACTED] issue Nov/Dec 2024 and they had a recall notice on some [REDACTED] Electric Ranges Pg 18. When I read the article I thought, that is what happened on our Electric Range. But then I realized that we have an LG Electric Range that has knobs on the front just like the [REDACTED]. Within the last 4 months, we had an instance where we had a Electric Griddle that we placed on top of our LG Electric Range and were cooking bacon. There is a pan to collect the grease, however my wife accidently bumped one of the burner knobs and turned on the burner. It melted the bacon greese trap an then started a fire on our stove top. I was able to carry the Electric Griddle outside while it was burning and then put the flames that were buring on our stove top by covering with a frying pan lid. Within the last 2 weeks, we had the same thing happen where a burner turned on while we had a griddle on the stove surface, but I caught it before it melted anything.
