Bosch Thermotechnology, of Londonderry, New Hampshire has recalled about 90 Gas-Fired Wall-Hung Boilers for fire hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) just announced.
The Gas-Fired Wall-Hung Boilers were manufactured in the Netherlands by Nefit B.V. Inc. and have been recalled because an electrical connector can overheat, posing a fire hazard to consumers. To date, no incidents or injuries have been reported.
The recalled Buderus GB142 is a gas-fired, wall-hung boiler. The boilers are white and designed to be mounted on walls. The black control drawer in the bottom center of the front of the boiler is marked “Buderus GB 142.” Boilers with a green sticker inside the control drawer are not included. The model numbers included in the recall are 142/24, 142/30, 142/45, and 142/60. Only models with date codes of 7246 through 7256 are included in this recall. The model number and date code are located on a label on the bottom left side of the boiler.
The recalled Gas-Fired Wall-Hung Boilers were sold by wholesale distributors to plumbing and heating contractors nationwide from September 2007 through December 2007 and sold for between $5,000 and $7,500.
The CPSC is advising consumers to stop using the recalled boilers immediately and contact their certified heating contractors or Bosch Thermotechnology for a free repair. Bosch Thermotechnology can be reached toll-free at 1-800-283-3787 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday or at the firm’s Website at www.buderus.net
