MWE Investments is recalling about 7,500 Westinghouse dual fuel portable generators because the fuel valve can leak, creating a fire and burn hazard. The recall includes the WGen5300DFv model with a blue and black metal frame and the iGen4500DF inverter model with a blue plastic cover, both manufactured between October and December 2019. There have been 26 reports of fuel leaking from these units, though no fires or injuries have been reported yet. Consumers should immediately stop using these generators and contact MWE Investments for a free repair.
The generators' fuel valves can leak gasoline or propane, which significantly increases the risk of a fire or burn injury if the leaking fuel ignites during operation or storage. While 26 leakage incidents have been reported, no fires or injuries have occurred to date.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled generators and contact MWE Investments to arrange for a free repair.
