ZLINE recently expanded a recall of 30,000 gas range stoves that could cause serious injuries or death. The recall involves the oven compartment of ZLINE gas ranges with model numbers RG30, RGS-30, RGB-30, RG36, RGS-36, RGB-36, RG48, RGS-48, and RGB-48 sold from February 2019 to December 2022.

The affected gas stoves may emit dangerous levels of carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas, when in use, putting consumers at risk of serious injury or death from carbon monoxide poisoning.

The stoves were initially recalled in January 2023, and ZLINE offered to repair the affected ranges. However, ZLINE received 131 reports that the repairs were unsuccessful and that the stoves were still emitting dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. In response to the unsuccessful repairs, on November 21, 2023, ZLINE expanded the recall and will now be offering replacement stoves or refunds.

Before ZLINE issued the initial recall, there were forty-four reports of carbon monoxide emissions, including three reports of consumers seeking medical attention. The Consumer Product Safety Commission has advised all consumers who have an affected range should immediately stop using the oven compartment, even if they have already had their range repaired as part of the prior recall. ZLINE is contacting consumers directly who have received a repair about an inspection, replacement range, or refund.

If you or someone you know has been injured as the result of carbon monoxide poisoning from a recalled ZLINE gas range stove with model numbers RG30, RGS-30, RGB-30, RG36, RGS-36, RGB-36, RG48, RGS-48 and RGB-48, please contact an attorney at Abraham, Watkins, Nichols, Agosto, Aziz & Stogner by calling 713-222-7211 or toll free at 1 800-870-9584.
