(WHTM) — LG is recalling around 500,000 electric ranges due to the front knobs accidentally being activated.

According to the recall, the front-mounted knobs on the recalled ranges can be accidentally activated by humans or pets. So far, there have been 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.

The model and serial numbers for the recalled product can be found inside the oven door or storage drawer located at the bottom of the oven. Serial and model numbers can be found on the CPSC website.

The product was sold at Best Buy, Costco, The Home Depot, Lowe’s, other appliance stores, and online at LG.com.

Customers with the affected ranges are advised to keep children and pets away from the range and to take extra care to check the knobs before leaving home or before going to bed. Additionally, you should not leave objects on the range when not in use, LG says.

Consumers should contact LG for a free warning label and replacement instructions. The label reminds consumers to use the Lock Out/Control Lock function on the range control panel.

LG can be contacted via the LG recalls website section or by calling (800) 399-3265 from 9 a.m. to 6 a.m. ET Mondays-Fridays.
