What happened
Health Canada announced a recall of certain AGA and La Cornue freestanding dual-fuel ranges because of a fire hazard. Some recalled range cookers may lack a gas manifold testing component that is required during installation pressure testing even though it is not needed for normal operation. If that component is missing, gas can leak from the test port when the unit is connected to a gas supply; as of August 14, 2026, the company reported no incidents or injuries in Canada or the United States.
Why it matters to your store
Specialty and independent retailers that stock or special-order these ranges carry immediate compliance and inventory exposure if any recalled units remain on the floor or in the back room. Continuing to offer affected units risks customer safety claims and forced reverse logistics. Stop-sale, quarantine, and supplier-return steps protect cash and limit liability until the channel is cleared.
Action to take
Verify serials on every AGA and La Cornue dual-fuel range in inventory today, quarantine matches, delist them from selling channels, and open supplier return or refund claims this week if the notice applies.
