Giant Factories Recalls Water Heaters Due to Risk of Fire, Explosion

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

The hazard

On units with a space between the bottom of the water tank and the combustion chamber, the flame arrestor or flame arrestor plate can fail, posing a risk of fire or explosion if flammable liquids or gases are nearby.

What to do

Consumers should immediately ensure there are no combustible materials near the water heater and contact Giant for a free inspection. If the water heater has a space between the bottom of the water tank and the combustion chamber, Giant will replace the water heater free of charge.
