Navien Recalls Tankless Water Heaters and Boilers | Class Action Lawsuit
On December 20, 2018, Navien recalled their condensing tankless water heaters and combination boilers. According to the hazard reported on the recall (recall number 19-057), kits installed in the heaters and boilers can cause the units to produce excessive amounts of carbon monoxide, which could result in an increased risk of carbon monoxide poisoning to consumers. According to the recall, approximately 3,400 units are affected. These water heaters and combination boilers were sold at wholesale distributors to installers around the country from August 2018 through October 2018. The water heaters ranged from $1,400 to $1,700, while the combination boilers were priced at $3,800. The recall advises those with the recalled water heaters and boilers to stop using the products and contact the company for a free replacement conversion kit. The recall also advises consumers who continue using the water heaters and boilers while waiting for the repair to ensure that they have functional carbon monoxide alarms.

What is Carbon Monoxide?
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, toxic gas that is formed by the incomplete combustion. Although carbon monoxide could occur naturally, it does not pose a natural danger to humans. Carbon monoxide is dangerous, however, when it is released by common household appliances in confined spaces. Excess levels of carbon monoxide could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, which could be very dangerous to exposed parties.
The Dangers of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Carbon monoxide poisoning could be very harmful to all those exposed to dangerous levels of the infamous gas. Carbon monoxide poisoning could cause headaches, weakness, dizziness, upset stomachs, chest pain, vomiting, and confusion. Carbon monoxide exposure could make unsuspecting parties pass out. People who pass out or are asleep when the exposure to carbon monoxide begins run the risk of dying. Although carbon monoxide poisoning can be fatal, those who survive often struggle with long-term or permanent effects. These effects include (but are not limited to) impaired memory, emotional instability, and changes in intellectual capabilities, for example. Without a doubt, being carbon monoxide poisoning could be very dangerous.

Information Regarding Pursuing a Defective Product Claim
If you are interested in pursuing a claim against Navien after you or someone in your family suffered carbon monoxide poisoning, it is essential that you act appropriately. Consider the following recommendations:
- Seek medical care as soon as possible
- Do not tamper with the defective product in any way
- Do not return the product or allow the company to repair the product
- Keep all documents relevant to the product and your purchase
Undeniably, all of the points above are essential for the outcome of your product liability case. However, many people doom their claims from the very beginning. Consider the recall once again; the recall advises consumers to contact the company for a free repair kit. What happens when the consumer contact the company for a repair kit, a free repair, or even a refund? Repairing or returning the defective product for a refund destroys the main piece of evidence-the defective product. Although every point mentioned above is important, you should always do everything within your reach to ensure that the defective product remains as-is.
