Multiple Brands of Heating Boilers Emit Toxic Gas
- 6 months ago
Recall By: CPSC; Lochinvar
Problem: Lochinvar, A.O. Smith, and State Industries brandwed condensing residential boilers have defective flue collectors that crack allowing the boiler to release carbon monoxide that may poison and kill you. Carbon monoxide ties up the hemoglobin in your red blood cells preventing them from carrying oxygen and killing you.
Sold: About 17, 370 of these boilers were sold in the US and about 782 units were sold in Canada by independent contractors, plumbers, and plumbing supply vendors and distributors between August 2021 through September 2023.
Actions: If you have one of these boilers in your home, contact your installer to verify that your boiler is recalled and to schedule a free repair.
