Why it was recalled
The activation knob on the valve can be left in a position between OFF and PILOT, which can cause the pilot gas to leak and accumulate prior to burner ignition. This can pose the risk of thermal burns to consumers when they light the pilot of the fireplace or stove.
Incidents and injuries
Honeywell has received one report of gas accumulating and combusting when the consumer lit the fireplace, resulting in a minor injury when the hair in the back of the consumer's hand was singed.
Official remedy
Consumers should stop using the product immediately and contact Honeywell for information on how to receive a free inspection and replacement valve.
