Reno, Nevada-based ZLINE Kitchen and Bath has expanded its recall of gas ranges citing serious risk of injury or death from carbon monoxide poisoning, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced.
The recall now includes about 30,000 units of ZLINE gas ranges, including about 28,000 units of ZLINE gas ranges, which the company called back in late December for the same concerns.
The recall expansion involves the oven compartment of ZLINE 48-inch RG gas ranges to include those with model numbers RG48, RGS-48, and RGB-48. ZLINE previously recalled 30-inch and 36-inch gas ranges with model numbers RG30, RGS-30, RGB-30, RG36, RGS-36 and RGB-36.
The ranges were sold in various door colors including black matte, blue gloss, blue matte, DuraSnow, red gloss, red matte and white matte, as well as multiple finishes including stainless steel, black stainless steel and DuraSnow, a cloudy steel finish.
The products manufactured in China were sold at Best Buy, Lowe's, The Home Depot, The Range Hood Store stores nationwide and various online stores. The gas ranges were sold from February 2019 through December 2022 for between $2,300 and $6,900.
According to the agency, the oven of the gas ranges can emit dangerous levels of carbon monoxide while in use, posing a serious risk of injury or death from carbon monoxide poisoning.
The recall was initiated after the firm received 44 reports of carbon monoxide emission, including three reports of consumers seeking medical attention.
Consumers are urged to immediately stop using the oven compartment of the recalled ranges until a free repair is available. Consumers may continue to use the range tops which are unaffected by the issue.
