Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20250514-D3460-2147331312. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: LG Electric Range LDE4413ST (Freestanding Electric Range). Incident: I am reaching out regarding a serious safety incident involving an LG electric range (model LDE4413ST) purchased from Best Buy for approximately $900 under an active Best Buy membership. This model is currently subject to Recall No. 24-040, due to a dangerous design defect that allows the control knobs to be accidentally turned oncreating a known fire hazard. Unfortunately, this exact defect caused a significant kitchen fire in my home. While I was moving boxes near the stove, without realizing it, one of the boxes accidentally bumped a burner knob, turning it on. Because of this model's known defect- where the knobs turn too easily and lack adequate resistance- a burner was engaged without my knowledge. The burner ignited nearby materials, and the fire spread rapidly. The flames grew until a water pipe overhead melted and burst, which ultimately extinguished the fire.
