CPSC, Robertshaw Controls Company Announce Recall of TS-11 Thermal Safety Control Gas Valves
Hazard
If the pilot light goes out, the gas valve can 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.
