Electrolux Consumer Products faces a proposed class action lawsuit in the wake of a March 2026 recall of certain Frigidaire gas ranges plagued by a defect that can cause delayed ignition of the oven’s bake burner, posing a significant burn risk.

The 18-page complaint contends that Electrolux falsely marketed the Frigidaire gas ranges as safe for normal use. The class action lawsuit contends that consumers who have bought the Frigidaire gas ranges, sold between June 2025 and January 2026 by Lowe’s and Home Depot, among other retailers, and directly from Frigidaire, are now saddled with a “worthless and dangerous product.”

According to the complaint, Electrolux received at least 62 reports of delayed ignition involving the oven’s bake burner, including 30 reports of consumer injuries.

The case alleges that Electrolux fraudulently failed to disclose to consumers the Frigidaire gas ranges’ burn risk.

“[Electrolux] had superior knowledge about the defective nature of the product at issue, particularly the risk of a burn hazard presented by the delayed ignition, which made them unfit for ordinary use,” the filing asserts.

Per the complaint, the recall applies to all Frigidaire, Frigidaire Gallery, and Frigidaire Professional gas ranges bearing the following model numbers:

• FCFG3083AS, FCRG3083AD, FCRG3083AS, GCFG3060BD, GCFG3060BF, GCFG3070BF, GCRG3060BD, GCRG3060BF, PCFG3080AF, FCFG3062AB, FCFG3062AS, FCFG3062AW, FCRG3051BB, FCRG3051BS, FCRG3051BW, FCRG3052BB, FCRG3052BS, FCRG3052BW, FCRG3062AB, FCRG3062AS, FCRG3062AW, FCRG306LAF and GCFG3059BF, within the serial number range VF52200000 through VF54399999.

The March 2026 Consumer Product Safety Commission recall covers approximately 174,800 units across the United States, the suit reads.

As part of the recall, the CPSC instructed consumers to stop using an affected Frigidaire range immediately and contact Electrolux for a free repair, though the product’s cooktop burners could continue to be used safely, the watchdog agency said.

However, the lawsuit argues that consumers were misled by Electrolux’s marketing as the company failed to disclose the delayed ignition problem and burn injuries before selling the products, and that their ovens would have diminished usability as a result of the flaw.

According to the complaint, Electrolux could have used alternative designs or materials already available to competing manufacturers that would have mitigated the burn risk. The lawsuit argues that the burner defect in the Frigidaire ranges was “demonstrably avoidable” had the company implemented safer design modifications before selling the ranges.

The Frigidaire gas range class action lawsuit looks to represent all individuals in the United States who purchased a Frigidaire-branded oven and gas range that was recalled in March 2026 within the applicable statute of limitations period.
