CPSC Recall in 2005: CPSC, Jøtul North America Announce Recall to Repair Liquid Propane Fueled Stoves
See the recall details below. You can also see similar information for other consumer product recalls in 2005.
The recall involves two Jøtul models of gas-fired stoves - the GF 100 DV II Nordic QT and the GF 200 DV II Lillehammer. The stoves are fueled with liquid propane (LP) gas. The model number (either GF 100 DV II or GF 200 DV II) can be found on the metal rating plate attached to the back of the stove.
Movement or misplacement of the stove's burner can allow propane gas to settle in the heater, resulting in delayed ignition. The delayed ignition could shatter the door glass and pose a laceration hazard to consumers.
Repair
Jøtul has received six reports of delayed ignition resulting in glass breakage. One laceration injury has been reported.
Dealers and distributors of Jøtul products nationwide sold the GF 100 DV II Nordic QT model for about $1,100 and the GF 200 DV II Lillehammer model for about $1,300 from June 2004 through early April 2005.
