DescriptionThis recall involves window opening control devices (WOCD) purchased from October 2015 through December 2025 and applied to Andersen 100 Series casement windows, including individually sold parts kits and factory-applied devices.

Issue

When force is applied to the window sash of some 100 Series casement windows with the window opening control device applied, the device may not perform as intended and can cause the window opening control device to stop functioning, allowing the window to open without control, posing a fall hazard to consumers. As of February 23, 2026, the company has received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada. In the United States, the company has received 8 reports of the window opening control device being broken or missing screws, and no reports of injuries.

What you should do

  • Consumers should immediately close and lock windows utilizing the recalled window opening control device and contact Andersen Windows to share the Product ID number located on the label on the upper right corner of the window, to determine if it is included in the recall. A local Andersen Windows dealer and an authorized service provider will perform an onsite repair of recalled products. Uninstalled window opening control devices should be returned to the point of purchase.
