Tankless gas water heaters recalled
The Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled all single- and dual-purpose Coaire and Quietside tankless gas water heaters. The recall involves both propane and natural gas water heaters, says a Quietside representative. More than 30,000 water heaters were recalled across the United States and Canada, according to a press release.
Daesung Celtic Enersys, manufacturer of the brands, received 40 reports of the units overheating, including four involving burns on walls where heaters were mounted and two involving fires and property damage. No injuries were reported.
According to a press release, the water heaters were sold through independent dealers and on various websites, including Amazon.com, from July 2008 to August 2014. The units sold for between $500 and $2,000.
