Summary

FIRMAN is recalling about 19,000 P03615 portable generators because the carbon canister can leak gasoline. These yellow and black gas-powered generators were sold exclusively at Costco between January 2019 and March 2019 for approximately $500. There have been nine reports of gas leaks, though no injuries have been reported. Consumers should stop using the generator and can either return it to Costco for a full refund or take it to a FIRMAN service center for a free repair.

Risk

The generator's carbon canister can leak liquid gasoline, which creates a significant risk of fire if the fuel ignites. Nine incidents of gas leaks have already been reported.

  2. Check your serial number on the same white nameplate; affected units fall within the range 4829200012 through 4833913602.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled generator if it matches the model and serial number criteria.
  4. Return the generator to any Costco Wholesale warehouse store for a full refund.
