CPSC, York International Corporation Announce Recall of Gas Furnaces

CPSC published a recall notice for Gas furnaces sold under the York, Luxaire, and Coleman brand names from York International Corporation on September 6, 2001. CPSC identifies this hazard: York's quality assurance and manufacturing investigation found these furnaces could have detached heat exchanger tubes. A separated heat exchanger tube could result in leakage of flue gases, including carbon monoxide, which could result in serious injury or death. The official remedy states: Consumers should stop using these furnaces immediately and contact York for information in determining if the furnace is part of the recall. All installed furnaces will be inspected and furnaces with improperly fabricated heat exchanger tubes will be replaced at no cost to the consumer. York has notified the furnace distributors to contact consumers directly about the recall.
