Cabinets sold at Home Depot and elsewhere got recalled. They might separate from the wall
Kitchen cabinets should remain flush on your walls, filled with plates, bowls, pots, pans, cups, saucers and those dishes family gave you that you never use. They shouldn’t come off the wall, which is why American Woodmark recalled 235,000 kitchen wall cabinets sold under the Continental Cabinets and Hampton Bay brands.
The problem, as stated in the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recall notice: “The cabinets can detach from the wall, posing an impact hazard.”
So far, the notice says, one or more cabinets have partially separated or detached from the wall 90 times.
This recall covers model Nos. KW3015, KW3018, KW3030, KW3036, KW3612, KW3630 and KW3636 of Hampton Bay Kitchen Wall Cabinets. For Continental Cabinets Kitchen Wall Cabinets, model Nos. CBKW3018, CBKW3030, CBKW3036, CBKW3612, CBKW3630 and CBKW3636 are involved.
They were sold by The Home Depot online and in brick-and-mortar stores in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Virginia, Virgin Islands, Vermont, Washington, D.C., and West Virginia.
They were also sold in Ace Hardware, True Value, Allied Building Stores, Cimarron Lumber Supply, Do it Best, House Hasson Hardware, HD Supply, True Value Company, and Wurth Wood Group stores nationwide.
A stamp on the back of the cabinet says “BP300 KW1” or “BP300 KW2” and a date stamp of February 2022 through September 2022. But because that can’t be seen once the cabinet is installed, American Woodmark will provide a free repair kit for any of the above models bought from February 2022 through this past March.
To get the repair kit, the instructional video and request help if needed, call American Woodmark at 888-273-7896, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Eastern time or contact Continental or Hampton Bay online.
