GE Appliances Recalls Free-Standing and Slide-In Ranges for Tip-Over Hazard

GE Appliances is recalling approximately 132,000 free-standing and slide-in electric and gas ranges because they can tip over if a heavy object is placed on an open oven door and the anti-tip-over bracket is not securely installed, risking burn injuries.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (tip-over hazard with potential burn injuries from hot food and liquids) where no injuries have yet been reported. Per the severity rubric, this meets the High (3) threshold: risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported, and the source explicitly states no illnesses or injuries reported.

Plain-English summary

GE Appliances, a Haier company, is recalling approximately 132,000 free-standing and slide-in electric and gas ranges sold under seven brand names: GE, GE Profile, Café, Haier, Hotpoint, Crosley, and Conservator. The recalled ranges were sold at Lowe's, Home Depot, Best Buy, and other home improvement and home appliance stores nationwide and online from May 2021 through July 2021 for between $580 and $4,600 depending on the model.

The ranges can tip over when a heavy object is placed on an open oven door and the anti-tip-over bracket is not secured to the wall or floor. This poses a tip-over hazard and risk of burn injuries from hot food or liquids in cookware. No injuries have been reported.

Consumers should contact GE Appliances toll-free at 877-247-9770 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, visit www.geappliances.com and click on "Appliance Recalls" at the bottom of the page, or go to https://www.geappliances.com/ge/recall/ to determine if their unit is affected and to schedule a free in-home service call. The company will inspect the anti-tip bracket and ensure it is securely installed in the floor or wall. Consumers can continue to use the ranges but should not place any objects on the open oven door until the anti-tip bracket has been inspected and repaired if necessary. Consumers should not return the recalled ranges to the place of purchase.
