Gas Valves Used in Recalled Decorative Fireplaces and Stoves

• Brand Honeywell International Inc., of Morristown, N.J.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Honeywell has recalled gas valves used in certain liquid-propane-fueled decorative fireplaces and Franklin-type stoves. The activation knob on the valve can become stuck between the OFF and PILOT positions, allowing pilot gas to leak and accumulate before the burner is lit. When consumers attempt to light the pilot, this accumulated gas can ignite suddenly and cause thermal burns.

The recalled valves were installed in fireplaces and stoves manufactured by Kozy Heat, Empire Comfort/White Mountain Hearth, Flame International, Blaze King, Central Fireplace, Montigo, Mendota Hearth, Harji's Fireplace Manufacturing, and Inca Metal Cutting. According to the record, consumers should stop using the product immediately and contact Honeywell for information on how to receive a free inspection and replacement valve.

What should I do?

Consumers should stop using the product immediately and contact Honeywell for information on how to receive a free inspection and replacement valve.
