GE Appliances has recalled approximately 132,000 free-standing and slide-in electric and gas ranges sold under the GE, GE Profile, Café, Haier, Hotpoint, Crosley, and Conservator brands. The ranges can tip over if a heavy object is placed on the open oven door while the anti-tip bracket is not properly secured to the wall or floor. No injuries have been reported, but this defect creates a serious risk of burns from hot food or liquids spilling from cookware. The affected units were sold at Lowe's, Home Depot, Best Buy, and other home improvement stores nationwide between May 2021 and July 2021. GE Appliances is providing free in-home inspections and repairs for the anti-tip brackets.
The range can tip forward if the anti-tip-over bracket is not securely installed in the wall or floor and weight is applied to the open oven door. This movement can cause hot food or liquids in cookware to spill onto consumers, posing a significant risk of severe burn injuries.
Consumers should contact GE Appliances to determine if their unit is part of the recall and to schedule a free in-home service call to inspect the recalled range's anti-tip bracket and ensure it is securely installed in the floor or wall. Consumers can continue to use the recalled ranges but are cautioned not to place any objects on the open oven door until the range's anti-tip bracket has been inspected and repaired, if necessary. Consumers should not return the recalled ranges to the place of purchase, as retailers are not prepared to take the units back. The firm is contacting all known purchasers directly.
Model number prefixes and serial number patterns apply to all listed brands.
