I don't know about all of you, but I really love my Shark Vacuum. Well, guess what? Another recall:
A Massachusetts company is recalling 143,000 upright vacuum cleaners because of the risk of electric shock, although there have been no reports of any injuries.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission said Euro-Pro Operating LLC is recalling four models of its Shark brand Rotator Powered Lift-Airway vacuum cleaner. The agency said the device's aluminum wand can disconnect from the vacuum cleaner handle while remaining electrified, potentially shocking its users.
The CPSC said 142,000 of the vacuum cleaners were sold in the U.S. and another 650 in Canada between August 2014 and March 2015. They are about 45 inches tall and 12 inches wide and are maroon or purple with a clear plastic middle section.
Recalled model numbers include NV650W, NV651, NV652 and NV660. The model number is printed on a silver sticker on the upper right-hand corner of the back of the unit.
Some of the products were sold directly to consumers and others were sold at stores including Bed Bath & Beyond, Target, Best Buy, Kohl's, and Lowe's, or online at sharkclean.com. They cost between $250 and $350 each.
The date code is printed on the metal prong of the power plug and shows the week and year of manufacture. Recalled units have date codes beginning with the number 48 or lower and ending with 14.
Vacuum cleaners marked with a dimple or green circle sticker on the outside of the plastic cuff that holds the aluminum wand are not included in the recall.
Anyone who owns one of the recalled models can contact Euro-Pro to get a replacement wand by calling 877-593-5140 or clicking on "Recall" at sharkclean.com or europro.com.
