Air King America is recalling approximately 5,000 Valencia Series wall-mounted range hoods because the provided mounting anchors may fail to secure the unit to the wall. This recall affects 30-inch and 36-inch wide models in stainless steel, white, and black finishes sold between 2009 and 2018. One incident has been reported where a range hood detached from the wall and damaged a cooktop. Consumers with affected units should stop using the hood and contact the manufacturer for free replacement anchors and a professional repair.
The wall mounting anchors are insufficient to hold the weight of the hood, causing the unit to potentially detach and fall from the wall. This poses a risk of impact injuries to anyone nearby and can cause significant damage to the cooking surface below.
Consumers should immediately stop using and inspect range hoods per the instructions provided at www.airkinglimited.com/recall to determine if included in recall. Air King will provide customers with recalled units free replacement wall anchors and repairs by a qualified technician.
