Storm Doors Recalled
New Cole Sewell Corp. and the U.S.
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) are recalling about 23,000 storm
doors nationwide. These doors have been manufactured without retaining
pins in the upper windows and, consequently, the windows could fall out and
injure those nearby.
The recall involves storm doors manufactured
from June 1, 1999, through August 16, 1999, with the following product
numbers: 94816, 94800, 94801, 94832,
94833, 94802, 94803, 94892, 94893, 94856, 94858, 94924, 94860, 94862, 94925,
94864, 94866.
The manufacturing date and product number are
encoded in the 15-digit registration number. The first six digits are
the manufacturing date, written as month, day, and year. The next five
digits are the product number. The registration number  is
located on the interior side of the door, just below the lower left corner
of the bottom window. "COLE SEWELL" is also on the
registration number label. The company will help consumers identify if
their door is part of the recall. The doors are either white or bronze
with a black, push button handle.
Home Depot, Hechinger, HomeQuarter, small lumberyard and do-it-yourself
centers sold these storm doors from June 1999 through December 1999 for
between $80 and $140.
Consumers should remove the storm door's upper window immediately and call
New Cole Sewell Corp. at (800) 328-6596 between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. CT Monday
through Friday to receive a free window with installation
instructions. Consumers also can write to New Cole Sewell Corp. at
2288 University Ave., St. Paul, MN 55114.
