Plain-English summary

PB Heat LLC is recalling approximately 1,200 DE and PSC II Gas Fired Cast Iron Boilers. The recall involves units equipped with the Endura Plastics Model ES2035 pressure switch, which were sold for home heating and domestic hot water heating between May 2007 and July 2008. The affected boilers were available in natural or LP gas configurations.

The recall is due to a potential internal defect in the pressure switch that could fail to shut down the boiler under vent or air inlet blockage. This defect could allow the boilers to produce excessive levels of carbon monoxide, posing a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning to consumers. No injuries have been reported.

Affected models include DE-03, DE-04, DE-05, and DE-06 with serial numbers 5040768 to 5052860, and PSCII-03, PSCII-04, PSCII-05, and PSCII-06 with serial numbers 5040777 to 5052166. Other suffix designations may follow the base model number. Consumers who have not already been contacted should contact their installer immediately for a free safety inspection and repair, if necessary. For more information, consumers can contact PB Heat toll-free at (877) 257-3300 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit www.peerlessboilers.com.
