CPSC noted that the range is manufactured in Mexico and Korea. The agency continues:
Consumers should contact LG for free warning labels and placement instructions. The label reminds consumers to use the Lockout/Control Lock feature of the Range Control Panel to disable activation of the heating element when the Range is not in use.

He said, “And likewise, to return to the common sense standards of light bulbs set up by the Trump administration but ended by a bent Joe. I look forward to signing these orders. Thank you!!!!”
