A. O. Smith Recalls Ultra-Low NOx Water Heaters Due to Fire Hazard

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

The hazard

The water heater's gas burner screen develops tears. The water heater's burner can then create excess radiant heat, posing a fire hazard if the water heater is installed directly on a wood or other combustible floor.

What to do

Consumers should immediately turn off and stop using the recalled water heaters and contact A. O. Smith to determine if a free repair is necessary.
