Generac Power Systems Recalls Portable Generators Due To Risk Of Serious Injury Or Death From Burn And Fire Hazards
Generac is recalling portable generators because fuel can leak from the carburetor when the generator is first filled with gasoline, creating a fire and burn hazard. The recall applies to new generators that have not yet been filled with gas or used. Generac says generators that have already been filled with gasoline and operated without leaking can continue to be used.
