Portable generators recalled


(AP) -- About 13,000 portable generators, manufactured in China and imported by General Power Products LLC, have been recalled because the fuel valve can get damaged when the units are shipped, causing fuel to leak or spill out while they are in use.

The company has received 14 reports of damaged fuel valves, but no reports of injuries.

The generators were sold primarily at hardware and home improvement stores in Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Ohio and Texas between June 2008 and September 2008.
