The product, in the report: refrigerator -the main shelf in a LG brand - model LFX25991ST
Cleaned the shelf in my refrigerator( model LFX25991ST -an LG brand) and was drying it when it spontaneously exploded shooting glass and shards of splintered glass all over my house. It literally went 30 feet in a circumferential pattern. Fortunately i was wearing glasses and long sleeves and did not get cut but i will be finding glass for years and i am worried about going barefoot and about my pets’ safety.

LG Refrigerator LFX25960ST Serial # 609KRJU03804
Just an hour ago I opened the door to my LG Refrigerator, to an acrid odour of plastic melting. The two bulb light assembly was extremely hot to touch and the heat was so bad the left screw that secures the housing to the ceiling of the refrigerator had melted through and the assembly was hanging down about a half an inch. I went to un-screw the bulbs and the right screw also gave way. Both bulbs have been removed but the unit is sitting on my top shelf, dangling from a wire harness.
Had I not awaken at 0200 to use the restroom and have a drink a fire surely would have ensued. Had I not been home for the Thanksgiving Holiday, a fire surely would have ensued.
Near as I can tell, the bulbs did not go off when the doors were closed as when I depress the left and right door button simultaneously the bulbs remain lighted.
Not only do I need to purchase a new refrigerator at an expense of $2500.00 with short notice during the Thanksgiving Holiday, I also am now forced to replace all of my food in my refrigerator due to the extreme temperature they were exposed to as well as everything in my refrigerator smelling of burned and melted plastic.

The product, in the report: French door refrigerator 36”x34”x70” approx. Black
LG refridgerator light melted housing and scorched the bulb holders. Lights did not shut off. The temperature control unit came off the mounting the ceiling of the refridgerator. The extremely high heat caused by high wattage lightbulbs melted the housing and caused my Thanksgiving dinner to become unsafe due to the high temperature in the refridgerator. My turkey had a temperature of 58 degrees F! Model is not under warranty.
