ZLINE announced this week that after two earlier recalls within the last year of around 58,000 ovens it received 131 reports that the repair was not completed successfully and that the ranges were still emitting dangerous levels of carbon monoxide.

As a result, a new recall of around 30,000 ranges has been issued.

Earlier recalls were announced on Thursday, Jan. 26 (also a total of 30,000 ranges in three sizes: 30-inch, 36-inch, and 48-inch) and late December of 2022 (28,000 30- and 36-inch RG gas ranges).

The brand-new recall involves ranges were sold in three sizes: 30 inches, 36 inches and 48 inches with model numbers RG30, RGS-30, RGB-30, RG36, RGS-36, RGB-36, RG48, RGS-48 and RGB-48. 

The ranges were sold in various door colors including black matte, blue gloss, blue matte, DuraSnow, red gloss, red matte and white matte and multiple finishes including stainless steel, black stainless steel and DuraSnow, a cloudy steel finish. 

The ZLINE logo is printed on the bottom of the door. The model number is printed on a label on the back of the range. For ranges purchased after 2020, the model number is also printed on a label underneath the right side of the range top, visible when the oven door is open. Only ZLINE gas ranges with these model numbers are included in this recall.

The gas ranges were sold at Best Buy, Lowe’s, The Home Depot, and The Range Hood Store stores nationwide and online at www.bestbuy.com, www.build.com, www.costco.com, www.homedepot.com, www.therangehoodstore.com, www.overstock.com, and www.wayfair.com.

The gas ranges were sold from February 2019 through December 2022 for between $2,300 and $6,900.

Consumers should immediately stop using the oven compartment of the recalled ranges until their oven compartment is repaired.

Consumers may continue to use the range tops which are unaffected by the issue.
