A recall has been issued for residential hot water boilers from the U.S. Boiler Company, which were sold under the following brand names: U.S. Boiler, Advantage, Force, New York Boiler, and Archer. When the boilers are installed at high altitudes (over 5,400 feet above sea level), the vent system may become blocked due to the blocked vent switch failing to shut down the burners. This defect can result in a carbon monoxide leak into the home, thereby causing the people inside to suffer from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Boilers that are being recalled have the following brand names and model numbers.
- U.S. Boiler Series 3 models 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308, 309 (with or without “-N” or “-P” suffix)
- U.S. Boiler X-2 models X-202, X-203, X-204, X-205, X-206, X-207, X-208, X-209

Health Complications from Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
The symptoms of CO poisoning can be very subtle, so it’s important to keep an eye out for signs of carbon monoxide exposure from a defective hot water boiler. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include:
- Fatigue
- Dizziness and headaches
- Nausea / vomiting
- Sense of confusion or being disoriented
- Breathing problems
- Blurred vision
- Fainting
- Chest pain
- Seizures
- Muscle weakness and/or swelling
- Death
What to Do if You are Hurt from Carbon Monoxide Exposure
First and foremost, you must do everything you can to protect your health, since exposure to high levels of CO can cause death. Make sure to go to a hospital immediately or call 911, depending on the severity of your symptoms. In addition, please take the following steps:
- Save your medical records and keep them in a safe place with other evidence, like proof of time lost from work and witness statements.
- Don’t thrown away the recalled boiler, return it to the manufacturer or have it repaired, since it can be used as evidence in a lawsuit.
- Report the incident to U.S. Boiler Company, but stick to the facts and keep the conversation brief to avoid saying anything that can be used against you. If they announce that you are a recorded line, consult a product injury lawyer before you speak to the company.
- Do not accept a refund or anything else offered to you by the manufacturer. Doing so can take away the company’s liability for your injuries, thereby making it difficult for you to proceed with a lawsuit.
- Make sure to seek legal advice from a lawyer with experience in carbon monoxide poisoning cases.
