LG has recalled 500,000 electric range stoves after the product was involved in at least 28 house fires — and in return, the company is now sending impacted customers free warning stickers.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall of LG Slide-In and Freestanding Electric Ranges this week after receiving “at least 86 reports of unintentional activation of the front-mounted knobs.”
