Plain-English summary
CFM Corporation, of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, is recalling 4,360 Majestic Vermont Castings fireplace remote receivers. The recalled remote receivers have the words "Majestic Vermont Castings" on a label affixed to the face of the receiver, and the model number ERX15 B can be found on the CSA approval sticker on the back. These units were sold with the HES40R and HES40 electric fireplaces/stoves and as accessory items for CFM DEF33/36, DEF36S2, Addision, DEF26, and HE32EF electric fireplaces and stoves.
The recall is being issued because the circuit board in the remote receivers can overheat and catch fire, posing a burn and fire hazard. CFM has received four reports of the remote receivers catching fire and causing minor property damage.
Fireplace retailers sold these remote receivers nationwide from November 2001 to February 2004 for about $70. Because the company is out of business, a remedy is no longer available. Consumers should call the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772 (TTY 301-595-7054).
