American Honda has recalled more than 200,000 portable generators due to fire and burn hazards. The recall involves the Honda EU2200i, EU2200i Companion, and EB2200i Portable Generators, according to an announcement from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The CPSC says the portable generator can leak gasoline from the fuel valve, posing fire and burn hazards. Honda has received 19 reports of fuel leaking from the fuel valve, the CPSC reports, though no injuries have been reported.
The generator is sold at authorized Honda Power Equipment Dealers, The Home Depot, and other home improvement stores nationwide and online. The recalled portable generators were sold with a red or camouflage cover, with the serial number on the lower corner of one of the side panels of the generator.
Honda advises customers to immediately stop using the recalled generators and contact a local authorized Honda Power Equipment service dealer to schedule a free repair. The CPSC reports that Honda is contacting all known purchasers directly.
