The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is recalling gas-fired horizontal furnaces commonly known as NOx rod furnaces. These units were manufactured by Consolidated Industries (formerly Premier Furnace Co.) and sold in California between January 1983 and December 1992. The furnaces pose a substantial risk of fire due to steel rods installed above the burners.
CPSC has received 50 reports of fires associated with the 140,000 horizontal furnaces manufactured by Consolidated Industries. No injuries have been reported. The affected units were sold by home, hardware, and specialty stores, as well as independent contractors, for approximately $2,000 each. The recall involves about 30,000 units.
The recall remedy is no longer available because the firm that announced the recall is out of business. Consumers can identify the affected furnaces by the steel rods installed above the burners. The units were sold under various brand names and model numbers by distributors including Amana Company, Bard Manufacturing, Carrier Corporation, Goettl Air Conditioning, Goodman Manufacturing, Heat Controller, and The Trane Company.
