July 9, 2026 from the CPSC in conjunction with Government of Canada:
Insignia Front Control Gas Ranges have been recalled because the recalled ranges’ front-mounted knobs can be activated accidentally by humans or pets, posing a risk of serious injury from a fire hazard.
Consumer Contact: Best Buy at 800-566-7498 from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday. Consumers can also go online at http://www.bestbuy.com/productrecalls or www.bestbuy.com and click on “Product Recalls” located under the “Order and Purchase” column located at the bottom of the page for more information.
Description: This recall involves Insignia gas ranges with model numbers 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. A label with the model number can be found on the inside of the range’s bottom drawer.
