The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in cooperation with Viessmann Manufacturing Co. (US) Inc. of Warwick, RI has voluntarily issued a recall of their gas boilers.

These wall hung units are housed in a white metal box that measures about 43.5 inches tall by 19 inches wide by 21 inches deep. There are two models: B2HB-45 and B2HB-57 included in this recall.
