Danby Recalls Gas and Electric Ranges Due to Tip-Over Hazard – March 2022

What Was Recalled

Free-standing and slide-in electric and gas ranges sold by Danby Products have been recalled. They sold 1,700 defective units through the Home Depot, ABC Appliance, other appliance stores nationwide, and business-to-business distributors, including Almo Distributing, Penna Inc., Home Depot Pro and Tri State Distributors from June 2021 through November 2021 for between $560 and $740.

Why Was It Recalled

The ranges can tip over when a heavy weight is placed on an open oven door and the anti-tip-over bracket is not secured to the wall or floor, posing a tip-over hazard and risk of burn injuries from hot food or liquids in cookware. Thankfully, there have been no reports of injury.

How to Identify The Recalled Product

The recalled units were sold in white, black, and other finish colors. The model number is located on the oven frame or under the electric stovetop, visible after opening the door or lifting the stovetop. Only units with the model and serial number listed in the chart are included in the recall. The gas range serial number is located on the oven frame inside the bottom drawer. The electric range serial number is located under the electric stove top. “Danby” is printed on the stove top.
