Monessen Hearth Systems has recalled approximately 15,000 Signature Command™ electronically controlled gas fireplaces and inserts under the Majestic, Monessen, and Vermont Castings brands. A faulty control component can fail to light the fire while allowing gas to continue flowing into the unit, which can lead to a fire. These units were sold by hearth dealers nationwide between October 2011 and October 2012. Consumers should stop using these products and turn them off immediately to prevent gas buildup.
A component in the control system can prevent the fireplace from igniting even though gas continues to flow into the unit. This accumulated gas poses a serious risk of fire or explosion if it eventually ignites.
Consumers should immediately stop using and turn off the fireplace using the master control switch on the command center which is located inside the control door. Consumers should contact Monessen Hearth Systems Company to arrange a free repair.
