Gas Vent Dampers Recalled by Effikal Due to Carbon Monoxide Hazard
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The hazard
The automatic gas vent damper could fail, and if the blocked vent switch does not activate, the vent could leak carbon monoxide (CO). This poses a risk of CO poisoning to consumers.
What to do
Consumers should immediately stop using the boilers, weather permitting, and contact their installer to confirm they have a recalled vent damper and to receive a free vent damper replacement.
