Dear Customers:
Robertshaw Controls Company, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer
Products Safety Commission (CPSC), is instituting a voluntary recall
of products in the Robertshaw TS-11 series. The voluntary recall
applies to all TS-11 thermal safety control valves produced between
February 2003 and August 2004, along with certain TS-11 components
(magnet heads) produced between the same dates, wherever sold, including
outside the United States. These products can be identified by date
codes 0306 through and including 0432. These valves are used in
commercial cooking equipment, including ranges, griddles, fryers,
and warming trays.
Under some circumstances, if the pilot light in products that use
the valve goes out, the valves could stick in an open position,
permitting gas to continue to flow. This could result in a gas explosion and fire,
which could potentially result in severe personal injury
and/or property damage.
If you have purchased a gas appliance since February 2003 or if
you have had a gas valve repaired or replaced since February 2003,
your product may be affected by this recall.
Safety Precautions: As with any gas appliance, if you smell gas
near the appliance or in the building, immediately leave the area
and call your local gas company or a certified gas technician to
investigate the cause. If you do not smell gas, check the pilot
lights on your gas appliances. If any pilot lights are out, do not
attempt to relight. Have the appliance examined by a qualified technician. If the pilot is functioning normally
(or if the gas supply to the appliance in shut off), you will need
to determine if your gas appliance has a valve that is being recalled.
