Approximately 500,000 LG electric ranges sold over the last decade have been recalled because of an increased fire risk caused by front-mounted knobs. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the ranges are linked to at least 28 fires, and 86 complaints have been filed in connection to the problem.

Knobs on ranges can be unintentionally activated, an issue that has proved a hazard with other brands, safety agency says.

There are 86 reports of unintentional activation of the front knobs, 28 fires, at least eight injuries, and three pet deaths, per the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
