Morco Products has issued a recall for certain open-flued gas water heaters following the identification of a safety issue.

The affected appliances, which may be installed in canal boats, houseboats, mobile homes, caravans, as well as domestic and commercial properties, pose risks of fire, explosion and injury. The issue involves the potential for gas leaks that, if ignited, could result in burns or explosions.

The water heaters not to use are Primo 6 (MP6), Primo 11 (MP11), EUP6 and EUP11. The products have been found not to comply with the requirements of Regulation 2016/426.

The EUP11RS is not affected by this notice not to use.

UK-based firm Morco advises owners of these gas water heaters, including those that have previously undergone a safety upgrade, to contact the company immediately for guidance on the next steps. Owners are cautioned against attempting to check or test the appliance themselves.

Additional information, including a form to request a refund or replacement, is available via the company’s website. Morco Products can also be reached directly by phone at (+44) 01482 325456 or via email.

For anyone who smells gas or is concerned about the safety of their appliance, the National Gas emergency helpline should be contacted immediately. The numbers are 0800 111 999 for England, Wales and Scotland, and 0800 002 001 for Northern Ireland.

Hey bullet are you the original person to post about the recall with these water heaters or is this info you are giving out a reply to a previous post by somebody with a problem? I ask because I may be able to help even though I am brand new to this site I hold 4 certifications in State of NM for LP gas (propane) including residential appliances had the 4 certs by 1993 so if there are ongoing issues or someone with safety related problems with gas water heaters I am offering to help if help is needed. Recalls tend to be issues during manufacturing process that don't affect all that are recalled but have a potential to have the issue. I originally came and registered here to reach member voipio because of his input on a question someone posted about a Weller soldering iron and voipio has expertise that I could use for a small problem. Thanks for listening and stay safe sir.
