Samsung is currently offering free knob locks and covers to prevent fires.
Oh… So the fires caused this then?
Samsung didn’t cause the fires… The fires caused Samsung to recall…
Dozens injured, pets killed in fires causing Samsung to recall 1.1M stoves

I will give them credit for coming forward and doing a voluntary recall. Someone in the Samsung PR department gets it.

100% agree. Their appliances suck.
However, this has little to do with anything Samsung specific. The front side “push and turn” types of knows are par for the course across many brands and have existed for a good many decades. Samsungs voluntary recall is a know replacement that you have to squeeze, push, and turn instead of the standard push and turn. Essentially, samsung just made a much safer front knob for a stove than anyone else offers.
It’s still a samsung appliance, though. So it will probably break every other year until you give up and throw it away.

Samsung Display is definitely the best branch of Samsung.
