These notices, which the agency updates regularly on its website, are essential resources for consumers.

If you find out that you own a recalled product, it’s important to stop using it immediately and follow the instructions provided in the recall notice, which typically recommend contacting the manufacturer or seller for a refund or replacement.

Read on to learn about the home-related products that were recalled in November 2023.

1. Lochinvar Condensing Boilers

Lochinvar issued a recall for its condensing boilers due to their potential for a dangerous carbon monoxide leak, which poses a poisoning risk if the flue collector is compromised.

Anyone who continues to use the boiler until the repair is completed must have operational carbon monoxide detectors on every floor of the home.

2. Grizzly Industrial Wood Lathes

Grizzly Industrial has recalled its wood lathes due to a defect in which the cutting tool might break, presenting a risk of flying debris and potential lacerations to users and bystanders.

3. Magnolia Market 3-Wick Glass Candles

Magnolia Market has issued a recall for its 3-wick glass candles because of a manufacturing error that included the wrong wax in the product. This defect can lead to unusually large flames, potentially causing the glass containers to break, which poses risks of fire and laceration.

Magnolia Market will be making direct contact with those who bought the candles online to facilitate the refund process.

The company is directly reaching out to all known purchasers following 14 reports of fires.

5. Twin-Star International Infrared Quartz Electric Fireplaces

If you’ve purchased an infrared quartz electric fireplace from Twin-Star International, exclusively sold at Lowe’s, be aware of a crucial recall related to overheating risks that pose a fire hazard.

Owners of these fireplaces should immediately cease use of the unit and unplug it from the wall. They are encouraged to contact Twin-Star for a refund equal to the purchase price.

6. IKEA LETTAN Mirrors

IKEA is expanding its recall of LETTAN flat mirrors because of a laceration hazard caused by the potential breakage of the plastic fittings that secure the mirror to the wall, which could result in the mirror falling. The recall includes all sizes of these frameless mirrors with a date stamp of 2105 (year, year, week, week, or YYWW) or earlier, and those with supplier number 21944 dated up to and including 2325 (YYWW). IKEA is offering a free set of replacement wall fittings and instructions, or consumers can return the mirror to any IKEA store for a full refund, with no receipt needed. This recall is an expansion of a previous recall from March 2023.

7. Tractor Supply Co. Red Shed Hammock Swing Chairs

Tractor Supply has issued a recall for its Red Shed Hammock Swing Chairs due to a fall hazard. The risk comes from the potential breakage of a plastic buckle that supports the chair’s back; the break can occur while the chair is in use. There have been 13 reported incidents related to the buckle or its stitching breaking, including three instances of consumers falling to the ground. These hammock chairs are distinguishable by their blue and silver mesh fabric seats, black nylon straps on the armrests, and a black metal frame. If you have this hammock swing chair, stop using it and contact Tractor Supply Co. for a full refund.

8. ZLINE Gas Ranges

ZLINE is updating its recall response for certain gas ranges that were originally recalled in January 2023 due to a critical hazard where the oven can emit high levels of carbon monoxide (CO) while in use, posing serious risks of injury or death. Initially, a repair was offered, but ZLINE is now expanding options to include a replacement range or a refund. Before the initial recall, 44 incidents of CO emission were reported, including three cases requiring medical attention, and post-recall, 131 reports indicated unsuccessful repairs with continued CO emission risks.

It’s crucial for consumers, even those who previously had their range repaired, to stop using the oven compartment immediately. The range top can still be used safely. ZLINE is reaching out to those who already had repairs for further inspection and informing them about the latest options. If you haven’t arranged a repair yet, contact ZLINE for the latest options available.

As a precautionary measure, it’s recommended to cover the doors with plywood or similar protective material if a hurricane warning is issued in your area.
