More than 350 gas fireplaces are being recalled because they pose burn and lacerations hazards.
The CPSC reports that the Valor H5 gas fireplace has a delayed ignition due to pilot degradation and can cause fire to accumulate prior to the burner ignition.
When the ignition takes place, the glass window on the fireplace can shatter and potentially injure the user.
The company who makes the fireplaces, Miles Industries, has received one report of delayed ignition, though no injuries have been reported.
The recall involves the following gas fireplaces:
