The recall affects consumers nationwide who own certain dual fuel ranges manufactured by AGA Rangemaster, federal safety officials announced Sept. 10, 2026. The ranges may pose a serious risk of fire, explosion, injury or death and should not be used until the issue is addressed.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, some ranges were made with a missing cap on the gas test port. The opening can allow gas to escape, creating a potentially dangerous leak near an ignition source.
The notice does not identify specific retailers, model numbers, serial numbers or other product markings in the information available. Consumers who believe they have an affected AGA Rangemaster dual fuel range should stop using it immediately and contact the manufacturer.
The remedy is a refund or replacement, according to the recall notice. Consumers should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and avoid attempting to repair or modify the range themselves.
A gas leak can create an explosion or fire hazard, particularly in an enclosed area. Anyone who smells gas should leave the area immediately and contact the local gas utility or emergency services from a safe location.
