PB Heat Gas Boiler Recall Due to Possible Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

PB Heat LLC, a Bally, Pennsylvania company, has recalled about 1,200 gas boilers because the pressure switch could have an internal defect that could fail to shut down the boilers under vent or air inlet blockage. This switch defect could allow the boilers to produce excessive levels of carbon monoxide, posing a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

This PB Heat gas boiler recall involves the DE and PSC II Gas Fired Cast Iron Boilers with the Endura Plastics Model ES2035 pressure switch used for home heating and domestic hot water heating. The boilers were available in either natural or LP gas. The boiler rating label is located on the top jacket panel on Series PSCII models and the left side jacket panel on the Series DE models. The label includes the model and serial number. The following model names and serial numbers are included in the recall:

Model Name Serial Number
DE-03, DE-04, DE-05 and DE-06 5040768 to 5052860
PSCII-03, PSCII-04, PSCII-05, and PSCII-06 5040777 to 5052166

Other suffix designation may follow the base model number such as SV-WPC.
The recalled PB Heat gas boilers were sold at plumbing and heating wholesale distributors nationwide from May 2007 through July 2008 for between $1,800 and $3,000. They were manufactured in the United States.

Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include the following:
  • severe headache
  • dizziness
  • mentally confused
  • upset stomach
  • light headedness
Carbon monoxide poisoning can lead to death (see "Carbon Monoxide Wrongful Death").
