The product, in the report: Armstrong Ultra SX 90 furnace
Armstrong Ultra SX 90 Furnace leaking massive amounts of CO into living spaces.This is a very dangerous situation. The Armstrong/Lennox J vent trap part number 41093-001, caused serious harm to a family. The resultant CO gasses pumping into the house could have been lethal. It sickened a house full of people. The part was apparently leaking for years. Several symptoms in the family over the years indicate this was failed for some time. It finally lead to the total failure of this part. When this occurred (total failure) the amount of exhaust gasses pumped throughout the house was enormous. I did a quick search and found that the symptom of leaking water from this part is common. When this part is leaking water it is also pouring out CO gas! It splits at a poorly designed seam joint. This part needs to be one piece or, at the very least made from stainless steel. It should not be cheap glued together plastic. It is the main exhaust exit from the furnace. It is SAFETY RELATED. I cannot believe Armstrong/Lennox has avoided a recall on this. I will certainly keep an interest up for persons complaining of CO poisoning with Armstrong/Lennox furnaces that use this J vent. There are many of these under various brands. It has been around for years.This needs to be a Safety Recall. I am absolutely positive there are many people currently being exposed to CO gas from this. This failure is documented several times.These furnaces have been around for at least 15 years in various form, all using his very dangerous, poorly designed part. They will all most likely fail to some degree if they haven’t already.
I will await your response.
