Found this on the Consumer Reports article:

Most of the ranges cited in the complaints were made by Frigidaire, but ranges from other brands were also reported. According to our research, 263 of the complaints cited Frigidaire ranges. Other complaints referenced GE (63 incidents), Whirlpool (35), LG (15), and Samsung (10).

In many cases, consumers explicitly stated that the glass shattered when the appliance had been turned off, sometimes for several days.
