Jade
Products Inc., of Los Angeles, Calif., is recalling about 3,300 Dynasty gas
ranges. The igniters are too far from the burners, which can cause a delayed
ignition of gas. The large amount of gas released can cause fire to escape from
the oven, putting consumers at risk of burn injuries and house fires. Jade
Products has received three reports of minor burn injuries when consumers have
opened the oven door just as the gas ignited and flames escaped from the oven.
The recalled Dynasty gas ranges are model numbers DGRSC and DGR(c), with serial
numbers from 050198-A through 280200-Z. The serial plate, which contains the
model and serial numbers, is located under the right burner grate support on
model DGRSC, and under the left burner grate (on the left side wall) on model
DGR(c). Consumers must remove the burner grill to see the serial plate. The
range is 30-, 36-, 48-, or 60-inches wide. "Dynasty" is printed on
the lower right corner of the oven door. Department and appliance stores sold
these ranges nationwide from January 1998 through February 2000 for between
$2,900 and $8,900.
Consumers should stop using these ranges immediately and call Jade Products
toll-free at (888) 607-5694 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.
