Recall by: CPSC: Generac Power Systems


Problem:  These generators have fuel tanks with inadequate venting due to defective rollover valves.  They tend to build up pressure and squirt fuel when opened leading to fires and burns.


Sold: About 64,000 generators were sold at home improvement and hardware stores nationwide.


Actions:  Discontinue using these generators and contact Generac at 1-888-391-0503 to request a free repair kit.
