Water Heating Technologies is recalling approximately 14,400 "American Standard" brand gas water heaters because they can leak flammable vapors, leading to a fire or explosion. The recall includes 30, 40, and 50-gallon white water heaters with model numbers starting with GN or GSN. These units were sold by plumbing contractors nationwide between May 2015 and February 2016 for prices ranging from $400 to $820. While no injuries have been reported, consumers should immediately stop using the heaters and contact the company for a free repair or replacement.
A gap between the burner flange and the combustion chamber allows flammable liquids or gases to come into contact with burning vapors inside the chamber. This defect can ignite external flammable materials, creating an immediate risk of a house fire or explosion.
Consumers should immediately stop using the gas water heaters and call Water Heating Technologies to arrange for a service technician to inspect, repair or replace the water heater free of charge.
