Carbon monoxide hazard recalls

Hayward-branded HDFS400 Universal-HC Series pool heaters can produce dangerously high levels of carbon monoxide during operation, which may cause serious injury or death. About 4,600 of these 400,000 BTU dual-fuel heaters were sold between March and July 2026.

Treatlife smoke and carbon monoxide detectors can fail to sound an alarm when smoke or fire is detected. These white, circular detectors are powered by AA batteries and were sold on Amazon. The failure to alert poses a risk of serious injury or death from smoke inhalation or burns.

The electric start button on certain Generac and DR Power pressure washers can malfunction and cause the unit to self-start unexpectedly. If the pressure washer starts in a confined space, it can produce dangerous levels of carbon monoxide gas.

Shenzhen Shijingjie male-to-male extension cords (model RY-US-06 and RY_US-1.5) sold on Walmart.com have exposed live prongs that can cause electrocution. These cords are sometimes used to connect generators to home outlets during power outages, which can backfeed electricity into the home's wiring and create fire risk. Their short length also encourages generators to run near homes or indoors, risking carbon monoxide poisoning.

The exhaust duct in certain VST brand tankless water heaters can crack, allowing carbon monoxide gas to escape into your home. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can cause serious injury or death. The company has received 33 reports of cracked ducts, though no injuries have been reported yet.
