Health Canada Recalls LG Electric Stoves Due to Fire Hazard with Front Knobs

Health Canada has issued a recall for several LG free-standing electric stoves due to an issue with their front knobs. The agency reports that there have been incidents of fires caused by the knobs accidentally being activated.

The recall advisory from Health Canada warns that the knobs could be triggered if they are accidentally touched by a person or pet, presenting a fire hazard.

As of February 12, Health Canada said the company had received eight reports of such incidents in Canada, along with two reports of injuries, including one minor cut and one minor burn.

According to Health Canada, more than 137,000 units of the affected LG electric stoves were sold in Canada between 2016 and June 2024 and are now subject to recall.
