What happened

Danby Products is recalling free-standing and slide-in electric and gas ranges in various colors because the ranges can tip over when heavy weight is placed on an open oven door if the anti-tip-over bracket is not properly secured to the wall or floor. This poses a hazard of the range tipping and causing burn injuries from hot food or liquids in cookware. The recalled models include 20-inch electric ranges (model numbers DER202B and DER202W) and 20-inch gas ranges (model numbers DR202BGLP, DR202BSSGLP, and DR202WGLP), with specific serial number ranges identified for each model.

According to the recall notice, affected consumers should contact Danby Appliances to confirm whether their unit is included in the recall and to schedule a free in-home service call to inspect and ensure the anti-tip bracket is securely installed. Until the bracket has been inspected and any necessary repairs made, consumers should not place objects on the open oven door. Consumers should not return the ranges to retailers, as the recall notice states retailers are not prepared to accept the units and Danby is contacting all known purchasers directly.
