Pella Recalls Sliding Patio Doors and Windows Due to Battery Ingestion Hazard; Violation of Reese’s Law Federal Safety Regulations for Consumer Products with Button Cell Batteries

This poses an ingestion hazard. In addition, the recalled products do not have the required warnings. When button cell batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns, and death.
Remedy: 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. 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.
