Generac Portable Generators Recall: Fire and Burn Hazards
Generac recalls portable generators with model numbers G0057341-G0057352 for fire and burn risks due to fuel tank pressure issues. Consumers must stop using and contact Generac for free repairs.
The recalled generators' fuel tank can fail to vent adequately from the rollover valve, causing the gas tank to build up excess pressure and expel fuel when opened, posing fire and burn hazards.
Generac is recalling portable generators with specific model numbers because their fuel tanks can build up pressure when opened, causing fires or burns. This hazard means users should stop using the generators immediately to prevent serious injury. Read more at govinfonow.com/recall/2197-generac-portable-generators-recall-fire-and-burn-hazards.
