Gas water heaters
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Giant Factories is recalling atmospherically vented propane and natural gas water heaters in 30, 40, 50, and 60-gallon capacities due to a fire and explosion hazard. On certain units, the flame arrestor or flame arrestor plate can fail if there is a space between the bottom of the water tank and the combustion chamber, which poses a risk of fire or explosion if flammable liquids or gases are nearby. The recalled water heaters are white with a red "Giant" logo decal and have specific model numbers and serial number ranges listed in the recall notice.
According to the recall record, affected consumers should immediately ensure there are no combustible materials near the water heater and contact Giant for a free inspection. If the inspection confirms a space between the bottom of the water tank and the combustion chamber, Giant will replace the water heater at no charge.
