Recalled product: American Flame Recalls Fireplaces to Replace Gas Valves Due to Fire and Explosion Hazards

The hazard

Gas can continue to flow into the fireplace pilot light area after the switch has been turned "off," posing a fire or explosion hazard to consumers.

What to do

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled fireplaces and contact their dealer for a free repair. The repair involves replacing the fireplace's valve if it leaks gas in the "off" position when tested by a qualified service technician.
