Incidents / injuries

Jade Products has not received any reports of incidents. This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injuries.

The model number is located on the serial plate that is accessed by lifting the right hand cooking module from the range top. The brand name "Dynasty" appears on the front of the range.
