Furnaces recalled 2nd time for fire hazard

A York, Pa., company has recalled a second time about 223,600 gas furnaces made for manufactured homes in the United States because of fire concerns.

Unitary Products Group, a division of York International Corp., had previously recalled the the Coleman, Coleman Evcon and Red T furnaces in the 2004.

The company also recalled 2,400 furnaces in Canada.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said the furnaces can overheat resulting in the heat-exchanger cracking and creating openings that allow flames to be exposed.

The firm has received reports of 393 incidents, including 366 after the November 2004 recall. Some malfunctions have involved extensive property damage. No injuries have been reported, the commission said

The furnaces were sold nationwide between 1995 and 2000 as original and replacement equipment in manufactured homes.

Consumers should immediately stop using the furnace until it as been inspected and repaired. A free inspection can be scheduled by contacting Unitary Products Group at 888-665-4640 or visiting the company’s website at www.dgatprogram.com.
