WASHINGTON, Feb. 14, 2000 -- In cooperation with the
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC),
New Cole Sewell Corp., of St. Paul, Minn., is recalling about
23,000 storm doors manufactured without retaining pins in
the upper windows.
The upper window can fall out and could injure those standing
nearby.
New Cole Sewell Corp. has received 15 reports of upper windows falling out of the storm doors. No injuries have been reported.
The recall involves storm doors manufactured from June 1, 1999, through August 16, 1999, with the following product numbers:

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"
also is 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.
