If you have the recalled boiler, you should contact Triangle Tube to schedule a free inspection and a free installation of a new ignition system if needed.

While you are waiting for the service call and potential repair, the CPSC said you should have working carbon monoxide alarms on each level of your home and by each sleeping area.

Triangle Tube will provide free carbon monoxide alarms if you do not have one.

Two people died — a woman in 2015 and a man in 2016 — from carbon monoxide from the boilers, the CPSC said.

There have been 25 reports of carbon monoxide leaking from the recalled boilers.

For more information, call Triangle Tube at 877-574-5036 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday. You can also contact the company by email or online.
