Triangle Tube Recalls Prestige, Aerco Esteem Gas Boilers Due to Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Triangle Tube announce the recall of Prestige Solo, Prestige Excellence and Aerco Esteem condensing gas boilers. The boilers can release carbon monoxide due to delayed ignitions or component damage, posing a serious risk of injury and death.

Triangle Tube has received two reports of death due to CO poisoning associated with the recalled boilers. In 2015, a 47-year-old woman died from CO poisoning associated with a Prestige Solo 175 boiler, and in 2016, an 85-year-old man died from CO poisoning associated with a Prestige SOLO TriMax 175 boiler following a repair.

Triangle Tube has also received 25 reports of CO leaks from the recalled boilers. Since 2011, approximately 60,000 of the boilers were sold in the United States and about 7,500 of the boilers were sold in Canada.

The recalled Prestige Solo, Prestige Excellence and Aerco Esteem boilers are wall-hung condensing gas boilers housed in a white metal box. “Prestige” is printed on the white front panel of the recalled Prestige Solo and Prestige Excellence boilers. “Aerco” is printed on the front of the recalled Esteem boilers.
