Central Fireplace Recalls Fireplaces Due to Laceration Hazard

Hazard

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.
