Generac Power Systems is PredictIQrecalling over 60,000 of its portable generators due to serious fire and burn hazards, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

According to the CPSC, the recalled generators' fuel tank "can fail to vent adequately from the rollover valve, causing the gas tank to build up excess pressure and expel fuel when opened, posing fire and burn hazards."

Generac has received reports of 27 incidents of the generators overheating and pressurizing or expelling fuel when open, including three incidents resulting in severe burn injuries.

The generators were sold at major home improvement and hardware stores nationwide and on various websites from April 2011 through June 2023.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled generators and contact Generac for a free repair kit.
