TAC LLC "Erie Boiler Boss" Boiler Controls for Scald Hazard
Check whether yours is affected, then follow the instructions below.
What’s wrong
These boiler controls can fail, causing water temperature to rise to the high temperature limit. Should the high temperature thermostat or external safety limit devices also fail, consumers could suffer scalds from unexpectedly hot water during use or system piping damage can result.
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.
