  1. No one hurt

    Made Oct 20, 2024, sent to the company Oct 28, 2024, published by CPSC Nov 12, 2024

    The product, in the report: Firman Generator TO 7573

    I purchased this Firman TOP7573 on December 23, 2022 because the power was out during a snow storm. I had to call Firman when i got home because the light for the CO2 sensor came on and the generator would not run and generate electricity. The Firman technician directed me to disconnect a wire in a fitting, and I was able to use the generator for 2 days until the power returned. When I tested the unit the next summer I was unable to get the unit restarted because the Co2 alarm was activating,I took the unit to a Firman dealer in 2023 and was told there was nothing wrong with the unit. It is well established that the CO2 alarm sensor system almost never work properly. There is no potential for human error on my part. I tried to get the unit started but it will not currently operate because the C02 sensor continues to trip. With no more effort from me CPSC shall direct Firman to send me the parts and instruction to fix the generator. It is beyond human comprehension that CPSC has not recalled all of the generators with CO2 sensors. It is undeniable that the C02 systems rarely work properly It is chilling that the government is requiring CO2 sensors on residential generators when it is known that they fail entirely too much.

    The product, in the report: FIRMAN T07571 TRI FUEL GENERATOR

    Purchased a Firman T07571 tri fuel generator from Costco in August 2020. Was very happy with the unit until it started leaking gasoline. Anytime I turn on the Gasoline knob to start the Generator Gasoline is leaking from behind the air filter like a faucet.

    The product, in the report: FIRMAN H07552 Dual fuel generator can run on both Gas and Liquid Propane fuel Generator features 9,400 starting watts and 7,500 running watts

    I purchased a FIRMAN generator Model: H07552 purchased from costoc. The generator was 1 months old and had 6 hours on the unit. The unit was being run to provide power to the dwelling. There was a loud “pop” and the unit stopped. Went to investigate the problem and the unit was on fire. From the time of the “pop” to the time of the fire, it was less than a minute. I have a fire extinguisher close by and was able to extinguish the fire within 30sec. Was able to put the fire out , but it is now inoperable.

    At cleanup I note the charcoal canister has exploded. This is likely the cause of the fire. Pictures can be provided.

    The product, in the report: Yellow and black generator with remote start

    My fireman generator was in storage in my travel trailer with minimal gas in it and there was obviously a gas leak during that time. There were two dark yellow circles permanently etched into the linoleum flooring and a dried up puddle around it. It caused some damage, but nothing major.

    The product, in the report: Firman Dual Fuel Portable Generator HO7552 Emergency 7500 Watt generator

    I Was breaking in a Firman Dual Fuel Generator HO 7552. I was mostly using propane because it was easier to start and ran smoothly. At two hours on the engine I went back to gasoline and it was again hard to start and ran even rougher than when I first used the gasoline system.

    I went to check the choke setting AND GASOLINE WAS LEAKING OUT OF THE CARBERATOR STEADILY. I turned it off and called Firman and left a message and sent an email. (After business hours today). I had previously Called them about the rough running and they never returned the call.

    I am filing this because I found another Firman Generator sold exclusively at Costco had a recent recall for GASOLINE LEAKING AND FIRE DANGER, So thought to Advise you immediately.
