The stoves feature front-mounted knobs that can be unintentionally activated by both people and pets, creating a fire risk, according to officials from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Since 2013, Samsung has received more than 300 reports of these knobs being accidentally turned on, leading to around 250 fires. At least 18 of these incidents resulted in significant property damage, and approximately 40 injuries were reported, with eight requiring medical treatment. Additionally, there have been reports of seven fires that resulted in pet fatalities.<\/p>\n<p>The recall affects specific slide-in electric ranges with front-mounted knobs sold between May 2013 and August 2024 at retailers such as Best Buy, Costco, The Home Depot, Lowe\u2019s, and others nationwide as well as on Samsung&#8217;s website. Consumers can contact Samsung for a free set of knob locks or covers for their stoves. In the meantime, the company advises keeping children and pets away from the knobs and not leaving items on top of the stove when it is not in use. For those with Wi-Fi-enabled ranges, they can activate a &#8220;cooktop on&#8221; notification through the Samsung SmartThings app to receive alerts if a burner is turned on.<\/p>\n<p>CPSC officials emphasized that nothing should be placed or stored on top of the range since such items could ignite if accidentally activated or left on.
