Fireplace Wall Controls Recalled by Hearth & Home Technologies; High Temperatures Can Result in Property Damage

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Recalled product: Fireplace Wall Controls Recalled by Hearth & Home Technologies; High Temperatures Can Result in Property Damage

The hazard

Failure in the wall control system can cause the fireplace to turn on by itself creating a risk of property damage. If the control fails and the consumer has left combustible objects directly in front of an unattended fireplace, there may also be a risk of fire.

What to do

Consumers should disable the fireplace until the repair is performed if they will be away from their residence for an extended period of time. Retailers are contacting consumers directly to inform them about the retrofit program and provide instructions on disabling the fireplace. Hearth & Home Technologies will send consumers a free replacement wall control panel for installation by the consumer or trained technician. Consumers not contacted by their retailer should contact Hearth & Home Technologies.
