LG range recall: gas leak and fire hazard (2011–2013 models) — here’s what you need to know.
Date: April 2014
CPSC Recall Number: 14-153
Affected Models: Approximately 8,500 LG freestanding gas ranges, models LRG3091ST, LRG3093ST, LRG3095ST, LRG3097ST manufactured between September 2011 and June 2013.
Issue: The oven burner igniter in affected ranges can overheat and crack, potentially releasing gas into the oven cavity. This creates a risk of gas leak and fire hazard. LG received 3 reports of igniters cracking, though no injuries were reported.
Consumer Action: Stop using the oven function immediately (cooktop burners are not affected). Contact LG for a free replacement igniter installed by an authorized technician.
