Gas Boilers Recalled Due to Carbon Monoxide Risk

A recall has been issued for Prestige Solo, Prestige Excellence, and Aerco Esteem gas boilers due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. The affected boilers are wall-hung condensing gas models. The potential hazard is linked to carbon monoxide being released due to delayed ignitions or component faults, posing a risk of serious injury or death, as highlighted in the Government of Canada Consumer Product Recalls notice.

Currently, there have been no reports of carbon monoxide leaks or related injuries in Canada as of February 21, 2025. In the United States, however, there are 25 reported cases of gas leaks and two fatalities associated with these models.
