FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 15, 2002 Alert #02-553 |
PRODUCT: Gas Water Heaters - Bradford White Corporation, of Ambler, Pa., is voluntarily recalling 1,220 75-Gallon Power Vented Gas Water Heaters. The recalled water heaters are models: MIITW75T6EN12; MIITW75T6CX12; TW375S76E3N; and TW375S763X with serial number "YD" (all) through YE 1395234. The model and serial numbers are located on the heater rating plate and on the shipping carton label. Bradford White Corporation sold these water heaters to plumbing supply wholesalers from April 2002 to May 2002. The water heaters were manufactured in the United States.
PROBLEM: The water heater may have been fitted with incorrectly made flue gas baffles. These baffles may affect fuel combustion resulting in excessive carbon monoxide emissions, which can cause serious injuries and death.
INCIDENTS/INJURIES: None reported.
WHAT TO DO: Consumers who purchased one of these water heaters should immediately contact their installing contractor or call Bradford White Technical Support at (800) 334-3393, between 8:00 a.m. and 7:00p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's Internet site at www.bradfordwhite.com. Bradford White will confirm the status of the product. If involved, Bradford White will arrange for inspection (and replacement if necessary) of the flue baffle at no cost to the consumer.
