CPSC published a recall notice for Gas Valves Used in Recalled Decorative Fireplaces and Stoves from Honeywell International Inc. on October 2, 2007. CPSC identifies this hazard: The activation knob on the valve can be left in a position between OFF and PILOT, which can cause the pilot gas to leak and accumulate prior to burner ignition.

The official remedy states: Consumers should stop using the product immediately and contact Honeywell for information on how to receive a free inspection and replacement valve.
