The cabinets can detach from the wall, posing an impact hazard, the CPSC said in a news release.

The following cabinets were part of the recall:

The model numbers can be found on the cabinet’s packaging or purchase receipt. They have a stamp on the back of the cabinet that reads “BP300 KW1″ or “BP300 KW2,” the CPSC said.

Since the codes are on the back of the cabinets and can’t be seen once installed, American Woodmark will provide a free repair kit for any recalled cabinet models that were purchased from February 2022 to March 2023. The kit will include brackets, screws and aesthetic covers.

The cabinets were sold in a variety of colors, including white, brown, gray and natural wood, in several sizes from 30 to 36 inches wide and 12 to 36 inches high. They retailed for between $80 and $265, depending on the model.

The cabinets were sold at retailers nationwide, including Ace Hardware, Allied Building Stores, Cimarron Lumber Supply, Do It Best, House Hasson Hardware, HD Supply, True Value and Wurth Wood Group.

They were also sold at Home Depot stores online and in the following states and territories:
