Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20250206-8BAE5-2147333412. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: LG LDG4315st. Incident: The LG Range LDG4315ST has no safety feature to ensure that there is an active flame once the gas valve for a range top burner after the gas supply is activated and the control knobs are very easy to bump by accident by clothing or by pets etc bumping or walking across the controls. If this happens the gas will flow unchecked leading to unsafe air or worst case gas explosions. We have bumped the knobs several times and had a pet walk across and turn on the gas supply with no flame. Similar electric stoves from LG have now been recalled for similar knob activation issues, but with electric stoves most of the dangers can be avoided by not leaving anything on the stove. This is not the case for a gas stove where hazard is not excess heat, up until the point there is an explosion. We now always remove the knobs when a burner is not in use.
