Laars Heating Systems Company Residential Boilers Due to Carbon Monoxide Hazard
Check whether yours is affected, then follow the instructions below.
What’s wrong
The blocked vent temperature switch (BVTS) can malfunction, which can cause the release of gases, including carbon monoxide (CO), into consumers' homes, posing a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
What it looks like
Photos help. Identifiers decide. Appearance can vary by color, finish or packaging. Confirm the model number, date code or other identifier in the official notice.
