Well, actually, there is. In fact, many local codes would require a change
in this case. 48 amps thru a 50 amp breaker into an appliance that is rated
for 30A would indeed be a fire hazard at the appliance itself or wherever
the extra current is going to.

Given that "standard" range circuits are 50A, I would expect that any
UL/CSA listed range will be safe to plug into such a circuit.

It may actually have a smaller fuse (or a thin wire designed to act as
one) in the appliance itself--this is what many kitchen appliances do,
and why they can have such tiny cords and still plug into 20A receptacles.
