LG Electronics Inc. has announced the recall of a number of their Electric Ranges because of a defect that allows them to continue to heat up after they have been switched off, reports PRNewswire.com.
Around 161,000 of the Electrical Ranges, manufactured in South Korea and Mexico, and sold at Best Buy, Home Depot, Sears, and other appliance stores across the U.S. between January 2007 and June 2010 for a price between $800 and $1999, have been recalled because of their failure to power down after being switched off. Further, the temperature can increase unexpectedly during use, leading to burn and fire hazards to the consumer.
