HRV fire hazard

Somehow, The Whig didn't pick up on this a couple of months ago when RealtySource first reported it (even though we included the announcement in their Real Estate section at the time) - but it's good to know anyways.
Some Venmar HRV (heat recovery ventilation) units may be subject to a fire hazard.

"Local fire departments warn that a defect in several brands of heat recovery ventilation systems has created a fire hazard.
Derrick Ethridge, fire inspector for Loyalist Fire and Rescue, said the department has already dealt with a few calls related to the defect. "The motors overheat," Ethridge said.
Loyalist Fire learned about the defect after receiving a release from Drummondville, Que.-based Venmar Ventilation, which asks people who may be affected to immediately turn off and unplug their unit and contact the company at www.venmar.ca or 1-866-441-4645 as soon as possible."
