Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20250209-B9AFE-2147333301. Severity: Injury, First Aid Received by Non-Medical Professional. Product: LG LDE4413ST (LG HOUSEHOLD ELECTRIC RANGE). Incident: A one year owner of the LG stove that is being recalled. Unfortunately, we've had 3 small fires break out from the front knobs being activated without knowing.

Unfortunate that this also resulted in me cracking the glass stove top - as I was putting the fire out with my [REDACTED] cup full of water, I dropped the stanley cup on glass top due getting a slight burn from a grocery bag and it cracked the stove top............... I have another incident when I had a wooden cutting board sitting on top of the stovetop to obviously cover the ugly cracked glass top and somehow the burner was slightly touched, in turn completely burning the wood cutting board. Lucky again, I caught it before anything else caught fire. Another incident on Christmas Eve, had my house full of family in celebration of Christmas, someone obviously rubbed the knob, and it turned on burning a plate that someone had set on stove top. This resulted in an almost Christmas disaster and set off smoke alarms, and airing the house out full of people. All events triggered smoke alarms and airing the house out. Being w
