Consumers across the United States are being urged to check their kitchens after a major Frigidaire gas range recall involving more than 174,000 gas ranges sold nationwide. According to federal safety officials, the recalled ranges can experience delayed ignition in the oven, creating a serious burn risk for users.
Product recalls like this highlight an important safety issue: household appliances that appear safe and reliable can sometimes contain dangerous defects. When gas appliances malfunction, the consequences can include fires, explosions, and serious burn injuries.
In the article below, the product liability attorneys at Kherkher Garcia explain the recall, the risks involved, the types of injuries that can occur, and what consumers should do if they own a recalled gas range.
Electrolux, the manufacturer of Frigidaire appliances, has issued a recall affecting more than 174,000 gas ranges sold in the United States and thousands more in Canada. The recall was issued after reports that the ovens in certain gas ranges could experience delayed ignition of the bake burner.
Delayed ignition occurs when gas builds up before igniting. When the gas finally ignites, it can create a sudden burst of flame or small explosion, which can cause burn injuries to anyone nearby.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), dozens of incidents have been reported, and at least 30 consumers have suffered burn injuries as a result of the malfunction.
The recalled ranges were sold between June 2025 and January 2026 at major retailers such as Home Depot and Lowe’s, as well as online.
Delayed ignition is a dangerous defect that occurs when gas flows into an oven but does not ignite immediately. Instead, gas accumulates inside the oven cavity. When ignition finally occurs, the built-up gas can ignite all at once, creating a sudden burst of flame. The gas buildup can result in:
Delayed ignition is particularly dangerous because the person using the oven may be standing directly in front of it when the ignition occurs.
Gas appliance defects can lead to serious injuries. Burn injuries are the most common type of injury associated with delayed ignition incidents. Burn injuries from gas appliance malfunctions may include:
Severe burns often require extensive medical treatment, including skin graft surgeries, hospitalization, and long-term rehabilitation.
Burn injuries can be extremely painful and often require extensive medical care. Treatment may include:
Severe burns can result in permanent scarring, nerve damage, and emotional trauma.
While burns are the most common injury, gas appliance malfunctions can also create other hazards.
Product recalls are issued when a manufacturer or safety agency identifies a defect that could cause injury. In this case, the recall was issued after multiple incident reports and injuries were reported. This is not the first massive recall of Electrolux stoves. In 2024, a recall was reissued for several stoves after more than 200 incidents were reported with ignitions and thermostats.
Recalls serve several important purposes:
However, many consumers never learn about recalls, which is why it is important to stay informed about product safety alerts.
If you believe you own one of the recalled gas ranges, safety officials recommend the following steps:
Consumers should never attempt to repair gas appliances themselves.
The model and serial number for most gas ranges can be found on a nameplate located inside the drawer beneath the oven. Consumers can use this information to determine whether their appliance is included in the recall.
When a household appliance causes injury due to a defect, it may fall under product liability law. Manufacturers have a responsibility to design and produce safe products. They also have a duty to warn consumers about known risks. Product liability claims may involve:
If a defective appliance causes burn injuries or other harm, injured individuals may have the right to pursue compensation.
Household appliances are used every day, and most people assume they are safe. However, when gas appliances malfunction, the results can be dangerous. This Frigidaire recall serves as an important reminder that consumers should:
If a defective appliance causes injuries, it may be important to speak with an attorney, especially if any of the following is true:
