March 9, 2022 - from CPSC

Danby brand free-standing and slide-in electric and gas ranges have been recalled because the ranges can tip over when a heavy weight is placed on an open oven door and the anti-tip-over bracket is not secured to the wall or floor, posing a tip-over hazard and risk of burn injuries from hot food or liquids in cookware.
