ODL has initiated a recall of more than 39,000 severe-weather door glass inserts as they can pose a risk of injury.

The recall was published on the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission website May 4. It applies to about 39,100 severe-weather door glass inserts designed to protect homes in hurricane-prone regions from the risk of wind-borne debris.

The recalled glass door inserts were sold under the ODL, Western Reflections and Kenyon’s Glass brand names. Date codes for affected products — 05/01/2022 through 12/06/2022 — are on the bottom corners of the doors. 

According to the recall, under severe weather conditions, such as hurricanes, the adhesive bond holding the door glass inserts can become separated from the door causing a risk of injury and property damage from wind-borne debris.

No injuries have been reported so far. The company is not facing legal action over the recall, but Top Class Actions follows recalls closely as they sometimes lead to class action lawsuits.

Free repair or replacement offered, recall states

The recalled door glass inserts were sold at Home Depot and Lowe’s stores nationwide, online at HomeDepot.com, Lowes.com and Zabitat.com from May 2022 through February 2023 for between $1,200 and $2,250.

The products are often purchased by intermediate distributors and placed into completed “door and door glass” products, such as under the Jeld-Wen brand, the recall states.

Consumers need to be aware the recalled severe-weather door glass insert may not function as expected, and should immediately contact ODL to arrange for a free repair by a qualified technician, the notice says. The door glass insert will be repaired or replaced free of charge.
