(KWNO)-General Electric is recalling over 130,000 Free-Standing and Slide-In Electric and Gas Ranges.  

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission says the ranges can tip over if a heavy object is set on the oven door and the anti-tip-over bracket is not secured to the wall or floor. That tip-over hazard poses the risk of burns from hot food or liquid on cookware.  

Consumers are asked to contact GE Appliances to determine if their unit is part of the recall and to schedule a free in-home service call to inspect the recalled range’s anti-tip bracket and ensure it is securely installed in the floor or wall. The ranges were sold at Lowes, the Home Depot, Best Buy, and other retailers between May and July of this year.
