England's Stove Works is recalling about 2,300 Smartstove freestanding pellet stoves because ash can accumulate inside the firebox, causing smoke to build up and the glass door to break. The firm has received four reports of incidents, including one report of a minor injury. These black satin finish stoves were sold at Lowe's and specialty hardware stores nationwide between September 2015 and December 2015 for about $1,500. Consumers should stop using the stove immediately and contact the manufacturer to receive a free repair kit.
Excessive ash accumulation causes smoke buildup within the firebox, which can lead to the glass in the front door shattering. This poses a serious laceration hazard to anyone nearby when the glass breaks.
Consumers should stop using the unit until repaired and contact the firm to receive a free repair kit and installation instructions.
