Fire Hazard Prompts Recall of AGA, La Cornue Dual Fuel Ranges 2026

More than 4,200 dual fuel range cookers sold across Canada and the United States are being recalled after the manufacturer discovered that some units may be missing a small but critical safety part, one that keeps gas from escaping through a test port when the appliance is hooked up to a gas line. Health Canada says 261 of the affected ranges were sold in Canada, while 3,992 more reached consumers in the United States, where the recall is being run jointly with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The recall covers freestanding dual fuel ranges sold under the AGA and La Cornue brands, both manufactured by AGA Rangemaster Limited in Leamington Spa, United Kingdom. It applies to every colour, trim option, burner configuration and gas type offered for the affected models.

Products Affected by This Recall

The recalled lineup includes La Cornue’s ‘CornuFe’ (model LAC1) and ‘Albertine’ (model LAC9) ranges in various sizes, along with several AGA models: the 122 cm (48 inch) ‘Mercury’ with double oven doors (AMC48DF), the 91 cm (36 inch) ‘Mercury’ with a single oven door (AMC36DF), the 122 cm ‘Elise’ with double oven doors (AEL481DF), and the 91 cm ‘Elise’ with a single oven door (AEL361DF). All of these appliances pair a gas cooktop, compatible with either natural gas or liquid propane, with an electric oven.

Units manufactured between March 19, 2025 and July 24, 2026 are included. Consumers can find the model, serial number and manufacturing date on the rating plate located on the bottom panel beneath the storage drawer, and can confirm whether their specific range is affected by entering that information into the lookup tool at lacornueusa.com/testcap-recall or agarangeusa.com/testcap-recall.

Why Was This Recall Issued?

According to Health Canada, some of the recalled ranges may be missing a gas manifold testing component. That part is not needed for everyday cooking, but it plays an important role during installation, when technicians pressure-test the gas connections. Without it, gas can leak out of the test port once the range is connected to a gas supply, creating a fire hazard in the home.

As of August 14, 2026, the company had not received any reports of incidents or injuries tied to the issue in either Canada or the United States.

Who Should Be Concerned

The affected ranges were sold between March 2025 and July 2026 and were manufactured in the United Kingdom before being distributed to retailers in Canada and the US. Anyone who purchased an AGA or La Cornue freestanding dual fuel range within that window should check the model and serial number against the recall list, even if the appliance appears to be working normally, since the missing component is not something a typical user would notice during day-to-day use.

What Consumers Need to Do Now

Health Canada is advising owners of the affected ranges to shut off the gas supply to the appliance right away. Consumers can keep using the electric oven portion of the range in the meantime, but the gas cooktop should not be used until it has been inspected.

Owners should then contact AGA Rangemaster Limited to arrange a free inspection, and a free repair if one turns out to be necessary. The company can be reached toll-free at 1-888-257-7912 between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, or through the ‘Recall Information’ link at the bottom of lacornueusa.com or agarangeusa.com.
