Corp. Recalls Sequoia Wood Burning Fireplaces
for Fire Hazard
June
28, 2006
The U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission has announced a voluntary
recall of Sequoia Wood Burning Fireplaces. Consumers
should stop using the fireplaces immediately unless
otherwise instructed. Due to insufficient insulation
or a missing weld, some of these fireplaces could
pose a fire hazard.
The products were manufactured by
CFM Corp. of Mississauga, Ontario. No incidents
or injuries have been reported.
 Only
models EWF30, EWF36, and EWF36A are affected by
this recall. The recalled fireplaces are 400 or
700 pound steel plate wood-burning fireplaces
with the trade name “Sequoia.” The
fireplaces measure 30-inches-wide or 36-inches-wide,
have doors which seal them and are designed for
installation in openings in the walls of homes
that connect to chimneys. Affected model and serial
