CPSC, Robertshaw Controls Company Announce Recall of Certain Models of 7000 Series Gas Control Valves

CPSC · 05073 · published 2004-12-22

CPSC campaign 05073

Hazard

Fire hazard. If the pilot light goes out, the gas valve could stick in an open position, permitting gas to continue to flow. This can result in a gas explosion and fire, which could result in severe personal injury or property damage.

Remedy

Free repair or replacement if necessary. If you smell gas near the appliance or in the building, immediately leave the area and call your gas company or a certified gas technician to investigate the cause. If you do not smell gas, check the pilot lights on your gas appliances. If any pilot lights are out, do not attempt to relight. Have the appliance examined by a qualified technician. Have the date code of your 7000 series gas valve ready when you contact Robertshaw.
