Venmar CES ventilators recalled
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of Venmar CES heat
recovery ventilators due to a fire hazard.
The company has received three reports of ventilators
overheating, resulting in fires, CPSC said.
About 3,400 of the ventilators, made by Venmar CES Inc. of
Saskatoon, Canada, and used in homes to provide fresh air, were sold
through building supply distributors from January 1991 through July
2007 for $1,700-$2,000, CPSC said.
They are described as light commercial heat recovery
ventilators. Ten models -- the Flair, Venmar, PrepAir, vanEE,
Carrier, York, Heil, Aston, Broan and Venmate -- are involved in the
recall.
Consumers were advised to disconnect the recalled
ventilators from power supplies. Consumers can contact Venmar CES to
schedule a free repair.
Consumers can call Venmar CES at 866-698-6283 for
