Pella recalls sliding patio doors and windows
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is reporting a product recall from Iowa-based Pella Corporation.
Pella Reserve and Lifestyle Sliding Patio Doors and Lifestyle Windows, which were sold via Pella direct, Lowe’s and Builders FirstSource stores nationwide and online from March 2024 through June 2024, "violate the mandatory federal regulations for consumer products containing button cell or coin batteries," per the CPSC. The sliding doors’ sensor panel and the windows’ remote control both have button cell batteries that can be accessed by children, which poses an ingestion hazard. In addition, the recalled products do not have the required warnings, writes CPSC.
The recall pertains to Pella Reserve and Pella Lifestyle sliding doors with Insynctive technology, models 2-panel, 3-panel, and 4-panel sliding doors. These doors have a sensor housing where the cell battery is located. Date codes for doors range from 031924 to 060524. The date code is etched on the lower corner of the glass.
The Pella Lifestyle windows and sliding doors with Insynctive remote control, models: 206A0000 (Generation 2) and 206A0001 (Generation 3). The Pella logo is printed on the lower 1/3 of the front panel of the remote. The UPC code on the packaging is 748171618722.
According to CPSC, consumers should immediately remove the battery in the sensor from the sliding door panels and in the windows’ remote control and place them in an area that children cannot access. Owners can also contact Pella for instructions on how to receive a free replacement remote, including shipping, or to schedule a door repair by a qualified technician, free of cost. Iowa-based Pella, which is marking 100 years in business in 2025, is contacting all known purchasers directly.
