CPSC, Jade Products Inc. Announce Recall of
Dynasty Gas Ranges

WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S.Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), 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.
