GSW Industries
Hazard: A potential burn hazard from ignition flashback or an increase in tank water temperature.
Bradford White
Hazard: The water heater may have been fitted with incorrectly made flue gas baffles. These baffles may affect fuel combustion, resulting in excessive carbon monoxide emissions, which can cause serious injuries and death.
In-Sink-Erator
Hazard: Water can leak from the metal holding tank, wet insulating material and cause electrical arcing and heat build-up. This poses a fire hazard.
Electric showerhead hot
Hazard: The nozzle can be easily unscrewed, exposing the uninsulated heater coil. The heater coil's grounding screw does not sufficiently reduce the current through the water, posing an electrocution and shock hazard to the bather.
Gas-Fired Products
Hazard: Over time, the heat exchanger could become blocked, creating a potential ventilation and cracking problem, posing a fire hazard, if nearby combustibles ignite.
Natural gas
Hazard: The burners could produce excess carbon monoxide (CO), posing a risk of CO poisoning to consumers.
AquaStar natural gas
Hazard: The heaters can produce dangerous levels of carbon monoxide in the exhaust gas, which can cause serious injuries and death.
