SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20260627-D47CE-2147314944. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Frigidaire FFGC 3026SS (Frigidaire Cooktop, 30",). Incident: U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Attn: Reports 4330 East West Highway Bethesda, MD 20814 Clearinghouse@cpsc.gov 1-800-638-2772 June 26, 2026 Product: Frigidaire Gas Cooktop Manufacturer: Electrolux Home Products, Inc. Model Number: FFGC3026SS Serial Number: 3F93803991 Incident Description I am reporting a serious product safety concern involving my Frigidaire gas cooktop. The front-mounted burner control knobs can be activated with extremely little pressure. The controls can be unintentionally turned on by incidental contact during ordinary household activities. This has occurred multiple times. A young grandchild accidentally activated one of the burners by barely touching a control knob. More recently, my dog jumped against the front of the cooktop and unintentionally turned on another burner. The burner ignited while unattended, creating a significant fire hazard and nearly causing a kitchen fire. Fortunately, the situation was discovered before anyone was injured and before major property damage occurred. The appliance can be activated without a deliberate intent to cook. In my opinion, the burner controls do not adequately protect against foreseeable accidental activation by children, pets, or adults brushing against the front of the appliance. This creates a foreseeable risk of: Fire Burn injuries Gas release Property damage Serious injury or death if the burner is not discovered promptly I believe this product should be evaluated to determine whether its control design presents a consumer safety hazard and whether corrective action or a recall should be consid
