Totals add up the figures the notices state, counting a reannounced or restated recall once; 46 of 52 notices add a unit count. A notice that gives no number adds nothing.
Counted across all 52 notices on file as of October 31, 2026. Each line says how many notices it rests on.
Lowe's (5), Amazon (2), Costco (2), BJ's Wholesale Club (1), and Meijer (1) are the stores named most often in the 46 notices that say where fireplaces were sold. 5 of the 46 notices mention online sales.
The 45 notices that give a price range from $8 to $9,000. Half of them name a price of $639 or less.
By the 46 notices that give sale dates, half the products were on sale for 17 months or less; the longest for 17 years. Half the recalls came within 2 years of the first sale; the other half reached products that had been on sale longer.
A repair in 14 of the 25 notices that name a remedy, a refund in 6, a replacement in 6. Some notices offer more than one.

Where the notices say the numbers are: “on the product packaging” (2 notices), “in the center of the rating label”, and “on a label”.
United States (16), China (14), Canada (7), Taiwan (4) and Turkey (3), in the 45 notices that name a manufacturing country.

No match is not proof that a product is safe. 27 of the 52 notices here list model numbers. They also name serial numbers in 15, date codes or manufacture dates in 6 and lot or batch numbers in 1. The place they name most often is “on the product packaging”.
