The product, in the report: Water Heater
This caller is reporting his water heater purchased in 2014 from a retailer in Arizona. He had been becoming ill and states that he has been diagnosed with a terrible disease that can lead to Cancer. It may be possible. Not sure_ He states that he believes that his water heater is responsible for his diagnosis of the disease called HP because it is only caused by bad water. The city water{?} Fine! He will have access to the water heater for another week but will have water taken from it for testing on hand. I am not accusing but this must be checked! He was in Honor Health Hospital in Scottsdale, Arizona where he was diagnosed with HP. He is not elaborating on the name of the disease because he said it is known by the letters HP. He contacted Rheem who advised him that they will provide him with a new water heater next week and picking up the one for which he is filing this complaint. He is asking that because of the situation if compliance could please expedite this report and any actions pertaining to it.
