Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20250221-AE388-2147332997. Severity: Injury, No First Aid or Medical Attention Received. Product: LG LSEL6331F.ORSLLGA (This product has since been recalled. I CANNOT risk having this product in my rental.). Incident: I have had at least 5 instances where my stovetop burners turned on without knowledge. First, when my rental first opened, my sister leaned up against my stove to set my microvate, and her stomach accidentally turned on the large burner and a rubber mat melted; then my brother leaned up against the other side, and again, the burner came on; then I had renters in my unit for two months, and I explained to them that we need to keep it in 'lock' position. They are elderly and did not remember to ALWAYS lock the stovetop, and towels burned that were sitting on the stovetop. This has happened several times, but they have just cleared off the top of the stovetop and are being more careful when being around the stove (handles in the front); then another guest, said the burners came on, but she did not know how it happened. This is a recall product and VERY dangerous for being a rental property. I cannot be held accountable if an incident burns down my condo, and takes other condos surrounding me down with a fire.
