ZLINE Gas Range Lawsuit | 2025 Latest Updates

ZLINE Gas Range Lawsuit Overview

The ZLINE Gas Range lawsuits focus on approximately 30,000 recalled gas ranges that emit dangerous levels of carbon monoxide from the oven compartment, posing serious health risks to consumers.

ZLINE Kitchen and Bath has received 44 reports of carbon monoxide emission, including three reports of consumers seeking medical attention.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued formal recalls for these defective units, which were sold nationwide between February 2019 and December 2022.

Product liability claims are subject to statutes of limitations that vary by state. These laws limit the time period during which you can file a lawsuit after discovering an injury from a defective product.
