2026-05-13 – A consumer reported a burn hazard involving a THOR LRG2401ULP range after a wobbly pot on defective stove grating caused a burn injury. The incident, logged with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's SaferProducts.gov database under report ID 6018141, highlights potential design flaws in the appliance's cooking surface. Product DetailsBrand Name: THOR Incident OverviewAccording to the CPSC report, the incident occurred on December 10, 2025, when a consumer was using the THOR LRG2401ULP range. The consumer reported that a pot placed on the stove's grating was unstable, causing the pot to wobble. This instability led to the consumer sustaining a burn injury. The report notes that no medical attention was sought or received for the injury. The consumer described the grating design as defective, contributing to the pot's instability. The product was used as intended at the time of the incident. The reporter retained the product and packaging, which may facilitate further investigation. The specific defect appears to involve the grating's inability to securely hold cookware, posing a burn risk during normal use. Safety ConcernsImmediate Dangers: The primary danger is the risk of burn injury when a pot or pan becomes unstable on the range's grating. If the cookware tips or spills hot contents, nearby users can suffer burns, as reported in this incident. The instability can occur suddenly, leaving little time to react. Long-Term Risks: Continued use of a defective grating may lead to repeated incidents of spills and burns. Over time, the grating's design flaw could cause cumulative wear that worsens instability, increasing the likelihood of more severe injuries, especially if hot oil or liquids are involved. Who Might Be Affected: The user is most at risk, but bystanders—including children or others in the kitchen—could also be injured if hot contents spill. The defect poses a hazard to anyone near the range during cooking. Warning Signs: Consumers may notice pots or pans wobbling or shifting on the grating during use. Any unusual movement of cookware on the stovetop should be considered a warning sign of potential instability and a burn hazard. What Our Clients SayWhat Consumers Should DoStop Using Immediately: If you own a THOR LRG2401ULP range and notice any instability with pots on the grating, discontinue use until the issue can be assessed. Continuing to use a potentially defective product increases the risk of burn injury. Preserve the Product: Keep the range and any related materials, such as packaging or receipts, in their current condition. This evidence may be important if you decide to report the issue to the CPSC or seek legal advice. Document the Incident: Take clear photographs or videos of the grating and any unstable cookware. Record the model number and date of purchase. If you have already experienced a burn, document the injury with photos and a written account of what happened. Contact the Manufacturer: Reach out to THOR INTERNATIONAL to report the defect and inquire about any remedies or replacements. Be sure to reference the CPSC report ID 6018141.
