Ottawa, ON — Health Canada has released a notice of the recall of various Triangle Tube condensing gas boilers due to the risk of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Products affected include the Prestige Solo, Prestige Excellence, and Aerco Esteem.
The boilers’ issue is due to delayed ignitions or component damage. They were manufactured between December 2011 and April 2019.
Specific products within each product line have the following serial number prefixes: AE, PT, PA, PTE and PEA.
Around 7,500 boilers were sold in Canada and 60,000 in the U.S. As of Feb. 21, Triangle Tube has received no reports of CO leaks in Canada and no reports of injuries or death.
In the U.S., Triangle Tube has received 25 reports of CO leaks from the recalled boilers and two reports of death due to CO poisoning associated with the recalled boilers.
As a result, Triangle Tube is conducting free boiler inspections and, if applicable, free installation of a new boiler.
