Andersen Windows Recalls Window Opening Control Devices on 100 Series Casement Windows

Andersen Windows is recalling about 91,000 window opening control devices sold as kits or installed on 100 Series casement windows because they can break or detach after impact, posing fall and serious injury hazards. No injuries have been reported.

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 source explicitly states no injuries have been reported despite eight malfunction reports, and the hazard is a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet occurred. Per the rubric, this fits the Score 3 (High) criterion for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Andersen Windows is recalling window opening control devices sold individually as kits or as factory-installed accessories on 100 Series casement windows manufactured before November 19, 2025. About 91,000 units were sold in the United States, with an additional 180 sold in Canada.

The window opening control devices can break or detach after accidental or other impact, allowing the window to be opened. This poses fall and serious injury hazards. The firm has received eight reports of the devices breaking, detaching, or malfunctioning, but no injuries have been reported.

The recall affects consumers who purchased window opening control devices as kits or had them factory-installed on 100 Series casement windows. Consumers can contact Andersen Windows and share the Product ID number on the label in the upper right corner of the window to determine if their unit is included in the recall.

Consumers should leave the recalled windows with the opening control devices in the closed and locked position and immediately contact Andersen Windows to schedule a free in-home repair by an authorized technician.
