LG RANGE STATEMENT

LG STATEMENT 

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Feb. 6, 2025 – Clarifying today’s notice from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), LG Electronics USA issued the following statement:

LG is reminding consumers about our unique safety function called “Lock Out” or “Control Lock” available on LG electric ranges with front-mounted knobs since 2015.

In cooperation with the CPSC, LG will provide a more prominent label that reminds consumers to use the exclusive Control Lock/Lock Out function. When activated, this innovative function, available only on LG ranges, locks the cooktop heating elements from being turned on even when the knob is turned.
 

We are proud of this patented LG invention explicitly designed to enhance the safety of LG ranges. Our other safety features include a “Burner On” indicator light, an alert beep that sounds when the knob is turned, and a “Hot Surface” indicator light.

NOTE: For 10 of the 11 models (listed in the CPSC press release), only those units manufactured through 2023, as indicated by serial number, are affected. All units of model LDE4413 are affected.
