What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: Carbon monoxide poisoning is a high-risk hazard. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the source explicitly identifies the hazard as posing a risk of CO poisoning—a serious and potentially fatal condition—making this a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, which meets the High (Score 3) threshold.

Plain-English summary

Allied Air Enterprises LLC is recalling approximately 9,255 Armstrong Air and Air Ease single-stage gas furnaces with model numbers A96UH1E045B12S, A96UH1E070B12S, and/or A96UH1E110C20S. These furnaces were sold through authorized HVAC dealers nationwide between September 2022 and March 2023 for between $1,800 and $3,400.

A component inside the furnace was improperly assembled, causing the furnace to produce high levels of carbon monoxide (CO) under certain operating conditions, which poses a risk of CO poisoning to consumers. No injuries have been reported.

Consumers who own recalled units should contact Allied Air Enterprises to schedule a free in-home repair by an authorized technician who will replace the incorrect component. Consumers who continue to use the recalled furnaces while awaiting repair should have working carbon monoxide alarms on every level of the home and outside sleeping areas.
