Honeywell Recalls Gas Valves Used in Decorative Fireplaces and Stoves Due To Burn Hazard
The activation knob on the valve can be left in a position between OFF and PILOT, which can cause the pilot gas to leak and accumulate prior to burner ignition. This can pose the risk of thermal burns to consumers when they light the pilot of the fireplace or stove.
