Canadian shoppers have two fresh appliance recalls to check before the next summer cookout or kitchen upgrade. Health Canada posted July 9 recalls for Insignia gas ranges and Cuisinart Propel+ Four Burner 3-In-1 gas grills, and both notices are directly relevant to people who bought major cooking appliances in the last few years. The key takeaway is simple: do not keep using a product just because it looks normal. Match the model number, follow the company remedy, and be careful with resale listings, open-box deals and hand-me-down appliances until you have confirmed they are not affected.
The first recall covers Insignia gas ranges with model numbers NSRGFGSS1 and NS-RGFCGS2. Health Canada says the stainless steel ranges have five front knobs and the Insignia name on the bottom of the oven door. The model number is on a sticker inside the bottom drawer. The issue is that the front-mounted knobs can be turned on by accidental contact from people or pets, creating a fire hazard. As of June 17, 2026, the company had received no Canadian incident or injury reports, while one U.S. report involved accidental knob activation with no injuries. Health Canada says 702 affected units were sold in Canada and 3,821 in the United States, with sales running from November 2021 to February 2026.
If you own one of the recalled Insignia ranges, the official instruction is to immediately stop using it and contact Best Buy Canada for a free set of knob covers. The recall notice lists Best Buy Canada’s phone number as 1-800-566-7498, available weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time, and also points shoppers to range@realtimeresults.net and the recall website at recallrtr.com/range. For households with kids, pets or crowded kitchens, this is a reminder to treat control placement as a real shopping feature, not just a design detail. When comparing ranges, ask how the knobs lock, whether covers are available, and where model information is located so you can verify recalls later.
The second recall is for the Cuisinart Propel+ Four Burner 3-In-1 Gas Grill with Pizza Oven, model CGG-6331. This grill includes a griddle, a stove-top burner and a pizza oven with tempered glass on top of the lid. Health Canada says the model and serial numbers are on the label inside the right-hand metal door. The hazard is different from the range recall: the tempered glass window in the pizza oven can shatter during use, creating a laceration risk. As of June 25, 2026, the company had one Canadian incident report and no Canadian injuries; in the United States, it had 37 incident reports and no injuries. Health Canada says 83 units were sold in Canada and about 12,600 were sold in the United States from December 2024 through May 2026.
For the Cuisinart grill, consumers are told to stop using it and contact Conair for a refund. The recall instructions say affected owners should visit the recall website, confirm whether the grill is included, safely remove the tempered glass window on the pizza oven, upload one photo of the removed glass and one photo of the grill’s serial number, and then follow disposal instructions after verification. The notice says eligible consumers will receive a $500 USD refund by cheque or reimbursement for the original purchase amount with proof of receipt. Shoppers can contact Conair toll-free at 833-408-0463 from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday to Friday, or go to recallrtr.com/3in1grill. If you bought a large grill as a seasonal deal, keep the receipt and serial-number photo in the same folder as your warranty information.
The money-saving angle is to avoid creating a more expensive problem. Recalled products cannot be redistributed, sold or even given away in Canada under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act, so a bargain listing for a used range or grill is not a bargain if it matches an active recall. Before buying any second-hand cooking appliance this summer, ask the seller for the model number, serial number and a photo of the label before you travel. Search the Health Canada recalls database, check the manufacturer’s recall page, and do not rely only on a marketplace title like “Insignia range” or “Cuisinart grill.” If a product is affected, use the official remedy rather than improvised fixes, and report any safety incident through Health Canada’s consumer product incident form so regulators can spot patterns faster. A quick calendar reminder helps too: set a monthly phone alert to search your model numbers, especially for appliances bought during Black Friday, Boxing Day, spring patio events or summer clearance. Recalls can appear long after the original purchase, and they matter even when the product has worked normally so far.
