About 235,000 cabinets could be affected by a voluntary service recall of wall cabinets that could pose an impact hazard.

An estimated 90 incidents of 111 cabinets from American Woodmark of Winchester, Virginia, have been reported of the cabinets partially separating or detaching from a wall. No injuries were reported, according to the Consumer Products Safety Commission.

American Woodmark of Winchester, Virginia, announced the service recall of its Continental Cabinets Kitchen Wall Cabinets and Hampton Bay Kitchen Wall Cabinets.

The recalled cabinets have a stamp on the back of the cabinet showing “BP300 KW1” or “BP300 KW2” and a date stamp of February 2022 through September 2022. Because the manufacturing and date codes are not visible once a cabinet is installed, American Woodmark will supply a free repair kit for any of the recalled cabinet models purchased from February 2022 through March 2023.

The cabinets were sold from February 2022 through March 2023 for between $80 and $265 depending on the cabinet model. The cabinets came in white, brown, gray, and natural wood and ranged in size from 30 to 36 inches wide and 12 to 36 inches high.
