This notice applies to all Regency brand U39 & U37 gas stoves sold between January 2001 and January 2018.
What is the reason for this notice?
As a family oriented company and world leading manufacturer of high quality hearth products, nothing is more important to us than the safety and wellbeing of our customers. Regency upholds the highest standards for product quality and safety, which is why we have decided to voluntarily recall and retrofit all U39 & U37 gas stoves sold between January 2001 and January 2018. This decision was made immediately and out of an abundance of caution as soon as we discovered an issue with the pressure release mechanism at the back of the firebox which, under certain conditions during a delayed ignition, can result in front door glass fracture causing glass to expel forward. No serious injuries have been reported and no other products manufactured by Regency are impacted. Regency’s remedy to this situation has been tested by an independent testing authority. In addition, both Health Canada and the U.S. have been apprised of the proposed retrofit. CPSC have given approval to start distribution of the retrofit kits.

When will you retrofit my stove?
We are pleased to be able to provide our dealers with the number of kits required to retrofit all of our currently registered customers’ units. Regency dealers are committed to servicing all recalled units; however, it will still take some time to visit all impacted customers. We are working diligently to get all of these completed before the next heating season. We appreciate your patience.
