Central Fireplace Recalls Direct Vent Gas Fireplaces

Risk of Gas Accumulation Can Cause Glass To Shatter

About 760 Direct Vent Gas Fireplaces made by Central Fireplaces are being recalled because excess gas can accumulate in the firebox if the pilot light is not lit or has gone out. When consumers relight the pilot light, the accumulated gas can ignite with force and shatter the glass fireplace doors posing a serious laceration hazard.

To date, Central Fireplace has received 7 reports of the glass doors breaking when consumers were relighting the fireplace's pilot light.

The recall involves Central Fireplace model CF3036MV-LP and CF3036MVB. The model number is located on the data plate behind the control panel door where the gas valve is located.

The fireplaces were sold by fireplace dealers nationwide from April 2001 through July 2007 for about $1,600.
