Exxon barred from Iraqi oil, gas auction
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of Vitodens 200 boilers due to a fire hazard.
The gas-fired boilers can leak gas, posing a risk of fire, the commission said Thursday.
About 4,600 of the boilers made by Viessmann Manufacturing Co. Inc. of Canada were sold though plumbing and heating contractors from January 2002 through December 2007 for between $4,000 and $7,500 each.
The recall involves model Nos. WB2 6-24C, WB2 6-24, WB2 8-32, WB2 11-44 and WB2 15-60.
The boilers are white and have "Viessmann" and "Vitodens 200" printed on the exterior in silver letters.
Consumers were advised to stop using the boilers immediately and contact a certified heating contractor or Viessmann for a free replacement of the boiler's O-ring.
Consumers can call 888-414-9157 for information.
