Remedy:

Consumers should contact Samsung to receive a free set of knob locks or covers compatible with their model of electric slide-in range to install.

Consumers using the recalled ranges without knob locks or covers are cautioned to keep children and pets away from the knobs, to check the range knobs to ensure they are off before leaving the home or going to bed, and to not leave objects on the range when the range is not in use.

Consumers with Wi-Fi enabled ranges can enable the “Cooktop On” notification on the Samsung SmartThings app to receive alerts on their smartphone when a cooktop burner is turned on.

Incidents/Injuries:

Samsung has received over 300 reports of unintentional activation of the front-mounted knobs by humans or pets since 2013. These ranges have been involved in approximately 250 fires. At least 18 fires caused extensive property damage. Approximately 40 injuries have been reported, eight of which required medical attention, and there have been reports of seven fires involving pet deaths.

Sold At:

Best Buy, Costco, The Home Depot, Lowe’s and other appliance stores nationwide, and online at Samsung.com. Depending upon the model, the ranges were sold from May 2013 through August 2024 for between $1,250 and $3,050.

Manufacturer(s):

Samsung Electronics America Inc., of Ridgefield Park, N.J.

Important Message from CPSC:

CPSC urges consumers to follow the following safety advice to avoid the risk of fire:

  • Never place, leave, or store anything on the top of your range. Such items can ignite if the range is accidentally activated or left on. Fires can occur when items are left on the top surface of any range that is accidentally activated or left on.
