Miles Industries is recalling about 1,000 Valor H5 gas fireplaces because the surrounding trim can leak hot exhaust air. This defect has caused one report of a fireplace mantle charring, though no injuries have been reported yet. These fireplaces are fully enclosed sheet metal boxes with glass fronts and mesh screens, sold nationwide at hearth and fireplace stores between June 2014 and March 2018 for approximately $5,500. Consumers should immediately stop using these fireplaces and contact the manufacturer for a free repair.
The trim surrounding the fireplace can allow hot exhaust air to escape into the room instead of being vented outside. This creates a burn hazard for anyone near the fireplace and a fire risk to the surrounding wall or mantle, as evidenced by a reported incident of a charred mantle.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled fireplaces and contact Miles Industries to schedule a free repair.
