Hearth & Home Technologies is recalling about 2,500 Heat-N-Glo and Heatilator Corner Unit Series indoor gas fireplaces. The back of the fireplace box can bow out during use, creating a fire hazard. There have been two reports of the units charring or causing minor property damage, though no injuries have been reported. These units were sold at fireplace stores nationwide from March 2008 through November 2014.
The back of the firebox can warp or bow outward, which may lead to excessive heat transfer to surrounding structures, posing a fire risk. Two incidents of charring and property damage have already been reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using the gas fireplaces and contact the fireplace store where the unit was purchased to arrange for a free inspection and installation of a correction kit. The firm's dealers are contacting known purchasers.
