Miles Industries Recalls Gas Fireplaces Due to Burn and Laceration Hazards (Recall Alert)

Hazard

Delayed ignition due to pilot degradation can cause gas in the fireplace to accumulate prior to burner ignition. When ignition takes place, it can cause the glass window to shatter, posing burn and laceration hazards.
