G-U Hardware is recalling about 5,000 window fittings, including Jet AK8 side-hung sash hinges and various Jet AK8 tilt-turn stay arms. These metal components were sold for use in commercial buildings and attach windows to their frames. They were distributed to hardware wholesalers and window manufacturers nationwide between October 2002 and December 2011. G-U Hardware has received two reports of windows falling due to these fittings breaking, including one report of a broken thumb. Consumers should contact the company to arrange for a free replacement and professional installation of new fittings.
The window fittings can break during use, causing the entire window to fall out of the frame. This poses a significant injury hazard to anyone nearby, as evidenced by reports of a broken thumb and falling windows.
Contact G-U Hardware to arrange for the free replacement and installation of new window fittings.
