Home cooks should stop using recalled gas range immediately, US says

Best Buy issued a recall on two models of Insignia gas range stoves after a report that the stoves can be activated by accidental contact with knobs, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. 

The Chinese-manufactured Insignia Front Control Gas Ranges received the recall on Thursday. The recall affected 3,820 units sold in the U.S. 

The recall affects two models of the Insignia Front Control Gas Ranges: the models NS-RGFGSS1 and NS-RGFCGS2. 

“The recalled ranges are stainless steel with five front-knobs on the oven with the ‘Insignia’ label on the bottom of the oven door,” the recall reads.

“Consumers are cautioned to keep children and pets away from the knobs, to check the range knobs to ensure they are off before leaving home or going to bed, and not to leave objects on the range when the range is not in use,” according to the Safety Commission.
