Weil-McLain recalls Ultra Series boilers due to risk of fire, explosion
Boiler manufacturer Weil-McLain is recalling its Ultra models 80, 105, 155 and 230 MBH Ultra Series gas-fired boilers used for space heating, reported the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. A cap on the boilers’ manifold can crack and release gas into the home, posing a risk of fire and explosion. The firm has received 11 reports of manifold caps cracking but no fires or injuries have been reported.
Consumers should stop using the recalled boilers, turn off the gas supply to the boilers and contact Weil-McLain to schedule a free inspection and repair. It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product.
