What is the lawsuit against LG ranges?

There have been several lawsuits and class action filings against LG ranges and stoves, primarily related to safety and control issues. The most notable lawsuit concerns LG gas ranges manufactured between 2015 and 2023, including models LSG4511ST, LSG4513ST, and LRG4115ST, alleging that the front control knobs are prone to accidental activation by children, pets, or inadvertent contact, causing the gas burner to turn on without the user's knowledge and creating a fire and burn hazard. This led to a voluntary recall in collaboration with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in 2024, where LG offered free knob locks, replacement knobs with stronger detents, and warning labels. Owners could request a free repair kit. Another lawsuit alleged that certain LG electric ranges with ProBake and EasyClean had control boards that overheated during self-clean cycles, causing premature failure and in rare cases smoke. There was also a smaller class action regarding LG ranges with air fry features where the enamel coating chipped prematurely. Most cases did not result in full product returns but resulted in extended warranties, free repair kits, and cash reimbursements. To check if your range is affected, enter your model and serial number on LG's recall lookup tool or at cpsc.gov/Recalls and call LG at 1-800-243-0000. Always use knob locks if small children are present.
