CPSC, Jade Products Inc. Announce Recall to Repair Dynasty Gas Ranges
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Jade Products Inc., of Commerce, Calif., is
voluntarily recalling to repair about 7,200 Dynasty gas ranges. The
ranges could tip-over if a heavy weight is placed on an open oven door,
posing a risk of burn injuries from hot food or liquids in cooking
containers.
Jade Products has not received any reports of incidents. This
recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injuries.
The Dynasty gas ranges included in this program are all 30, 36,
and 48-inch units with the model number DGRSC. The model number is
located on the serial plate that is accessed by lifting the right hand
cooking module from the range top. The brand name "Dynasty" appears on
the front of the range.
Appliance and retail stores nationwide sold these ranges from
January 1996 through December 2001 for between $3,000 and $7,400.
Consumers may continue to use the ranges but are cautioned not to
place any objects on the open oven door until an anti-tip bracket has
been installed. Consumers should call Jade Products toll-free at (888)
607-5694 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday to arrange
for free installation of an anti-tip bracket. For more information,
consumers should log on the company's website at www.dynastyrange.com.
The installation of the anti-tip brackets will bring the recalled
ranges into compliance with the stability test requirements of the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z21.1 Standard for
Household Gas Cooking Appliances.
Some of these ranges were also involved in a separate March
2001 recall to repair a delayed gas ignition defect.
