CPSC Recall in 2009: Gas Boilers Recalled by Bosch Thermotechnology Corp. Due to Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard
See the recall details below. You can also see similar information for other consumer product recalls in 2009.
The recall involves the Buderus GB312 gas-fired, floor standing condensing boilers. Model numbers included in this recall are: 312/90, 312/120, 312/160, 312/200, 312/240 and 312/280. "BUDERUS GB312" is printed on the front of the boiler. The boilers are blue, approximately 60 inches high and between 39 and 55 inches wide.
A problem with the boiler's ignition due to insufficient output voltage from the boiler's transformer can damage the boiler's venting. This can result in leaking flue gases, posing a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning to consumers.
