What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with VST gas-fired tankless water heaters?
VST gas-fired tankless water heaters was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. The exhaust duct can crack, allowing gases to escape inside of the home, posing a carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning hazard that can result in death or serious injury. This falls under one of the more serious hazard categories (injury, choking or strangulation risk), so the recall covers every unit sold, not only units with a reported incident.
What should you do if you own this product?
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled water heater and contact VESTA.DS to have a certified technician install the free repair. Consumers who must continue using the water heater while awaiting repair should have working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in their homes. Sold at: In-store and online at Best Buy, Dick's Sporting Goods, Nebraska Furniture and ABT stores nationwide and online at nordictrack.com and Amazon.com from November 2018 through April 2022 for about $1,700.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
How many units are affected?
About About 36,700 (In addition, about 3,500 were sold in Canada) units of VST gas-fired tankless water heaters are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
