Gas Vent Dampers Recalled by Effikal Due to Carbon Monoxide Hazard
The automatic gas vent damper could fail, and if the blocked vent switch does
not activate, the vent could leak carbon monoxide (CO). This poses a risk of CO poisoning to consumers. The recall
involves Effikal RVGP-PC Gas Vent Damper size 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 which are installed with the gas boiler systems
listed below. The vent damper date code is located on a sticker under the motor assembly cap on the plastic base.
Serial numbers are located on a label on the side of the damper’s cap. All sizes and models of the RVGP-PC have the
same motor assembly with black Effikal caps and black plastic bases.
