Lennox recalls thousands of propane, natural gas fireplaces

Lennox Hearth Products recalled 11,500 fireplaces due to the risk of a gas leak and a fire hazard. The recall involves nine different models that are fueled by propane or natural gas.

Lennox, based in Nashville, Tenn., has received eight reports of gas connectors leaking in fireplaces. No injuries have been reported. Customers with recalled units are asked to immediately stop using the fireplaces, turn off the gas to them and contact Lennox for free inspections and connector replacements.

The recalled units were sold at fireplace stores and by heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) retailers and installers across the United States from April through December of last year.
