Overview of the Triangle Tube Gas Boiler Recall
On February 27, 2025, Triangle Tube issued a recall for approximately 60,000 Prestige Solo, Prestige Excellence, and Aerco Esteem condensing gas boilers in the United States, with an additional 7,500 sold in Canada. The recall was prompted by reports of carbon monoxide (CO) leaks due to delayed ignitions or component failures, posing a serious risk of injury or death.
The company has received two reports of fatalities linked to the recalled boilers, along with 25 reports of CO leaks. Consumers are urged to stop using the affected units immediately and contact Triangle Tube for a free inspection and repair. If you or a loved one suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning and had a gas boiler, our product liability attorneys can investigate the death or injury.
Details of the Boiler Carbon Monoxide Injury Hazard
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can be fatal when inhaled in high concentrations. The defective boilers may release CO due to issues with ignition or internal components, increasing the risk of poisoning. Symptoms of CO poisoning include dizziness, nausea, confusion, and, in severe cases, death.
Triangle Tube has received multiple reports of CO exposure, including:
- A 2015 fatality involving a 47-year-old woman due to a Prestige Solo 175 boiler.
- A 2016 fatality involving an 85-year-old man after a Prestige Solo TriMax 175 boiler repair.
Consumers should have working carbon monoxide alarms in their homes and contact Triangle Tube immediately for a free repair and inspection.
