Weil-McLain Recalls Ultra Series Boilers for Carbon Monoxide Hazard
CPSC Recall1 injuries · 2006-10-31 · 07020
Hazards
These boilers were manufactured for use with natural gas, but could have a blue tag incorrectly indicating to installers that they are intended for use with LP (propane) gas. If an installer connects one of the boilers to LP gas without installing a propane conversion kit, carbon monoxide (CO) can build up due to incomplete combustion, posing a risk of CO poisoning.
