Navien Issues Recall on Instantaneous or Tankless Water Heaters for Carbon Monoxide Risk

According to the manufacturer and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Navien America Inc. has issued a recall for their Instantaneous or Tankless Water Heaters due to risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. The units may have an unstale connection which can cause the heater's vent to separate from the collar and expose consumers to carbon monoxide. These units were sold wholesale to in-home installers. Navien can be contacted at (800) 244-8202.

Commentary
Irrespective of this particular recall, everyone should employ carbon monoxide alarms in their home. CO poisoning has become more of a hot button issue with the level of interest peaking from many in-home accidents. Consumers should be very aware of any device with a potential CO hazard and again, install alarm systems in all sleeping areas, at the minimum.

As a Texas attorney practicing for 20 years, I have litigated all manner of personal injury cases. I use this blog as a place to write opinion / editorial articles on a variety of topics that catch my interest and as a means of sharing news stories relevant to personal injury accidents. I think the overwhelming majority of people are unaware just how common these types of accidents are and I hope this blog raises awareness to rather serious public safety concerns. However, this blog is simply a means for me to share my opinions and I would recommend that anyone who is considering seeking legal counsel should contact their family attorney.
