The power cords on these vacuums extend out of the very top of the handle, and the cord is often used as an extension of the handle. The power cord can break inside the handle or the casing around the cord can break, and cause shocks or burns to the user's hand. Even when there is no apparent breaking of the casing around the cord, these vacuums can still cause injuries. Electrolux is aware of at least 75 reports of the cords on these vacuums breaking or the casing around the cord exposing wires. About half of these incidents reportedly resulted in burns or shocks to users. Of these reports, there were 11 serious injuries which included consumers suffering second or third degree burns, shocks, or a combination of these injuries. The Ponytail vacuums were sold under the following names: Genesis Prolux S/R Genesis LX Prolux Warehouse Genesis LXE Regency Prolux Special Edition Prolux Plus Only Electrolux upright vacuums with the cord coming out of the very top of the handle are included in this recall. \"Electrolux\" and the model name are written on each vacuum. Most of these vacuums were sold through direct sales and retail stores, including Sam's Club, Service Merchandise and Macy's, between May 1991 and September 1993 for between $150 and $550, depending on the model and accessories. Some vacuums were sold directly to corporate customers. Consumers should immediately stop using these vacuums, and return them to an Electrolux store for a free repair. The handle on the vacuum will be replaced with a new model handle.

WASHINGTON, DC -- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), BISSELL, Inc., Grand Rapids, MI, is voluntarily recalling the BISSELL Trio Vac model 3005 (single speed) and model 3005W (canister kit) vacuums manufactured in 1992. These models convert from full-length to hand-held vacuums and have plastic fans. The vacuum's plastic fan may break into pieces causing the housing to crack open and the hard, sharp fan pieces to be propelled from the vacuum's housing. Models with plastic fans were sold through June 1993. BISSELL has received 40 consumer reports of product failures including 12 reports of injuries. While most injuries were minor cuts and bruises to the lower body, two injuries occurred at eye level. Approximately 13,000 vacuums were sold nationwide through major retailers for about $50 or $60, depending on the model. After receiving retailer returns and direct calls from consumers regarding failed fans, BISSELL began a product recall and reported the problem to CPSC. Consumers who bought BISSELL Trio Vacuums through June 1993 should immediately stop using them and check the date stamp. To check the date stamp, remove the dirt collection tank and read the six digit number which appears on the inside of the bottom motor housing. The first two numbers are the year. If the numbers are 93, the vacuum has a metal fan design and does not need to be returned. If the numbers are 92 or no numbers are visible, the vacuum must be returned to BISSELL Inc. Please call BISSELL Customer Service: 1-800-237-7691, Monday through Friday, between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. BISSELL will replace the 1992 vacuums with 1993 vacuums containing a metal fan or provide a full refund of the purchase price. BISSELL has extensive data verifying the integrity of the 1993 fan design. Postage for the returned 1992 vacuums will be reimbursed. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is announcing this recall as a part of its mission to protect the public from unreasonable risks of injury and death associated with consumer products. The Commission's objective is to reduce the estimated 28.6 million injuries and 21,700 deaths associated each year with the 15,000 different types of consumer products under CPSC's jurisdiction","URL":"https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/1993/1992-Bissell-Trio-Vacuum-Cleaners-Recalled","Title":"1992 Bissell Trio Vacuum Cleaners Recalled","ConsumerContact":null,"LastPublishDate":"1993-08-19T00:00:00","Products":[{"Name":"BISSELL Trio Vac vacuums","Description":"","Model":"","Type":"Vacuum Cleaners/Sweepers","CategoryID":"2216","NumberOfUnits":""}],"Inconjunctions":[],"Images":[],"Injuries":[],"Manufacturers":[{"Name":"BISSELL","CompanyID":""}],"Retailers":[],"Importers":[],"Distributors":[],"SoldAtLabel":null,"ManufacturerCountries":[],"ProductUPCs":[],"Hazards":[{"Name":"Laceration","HazardType":"","HazardTypeID":""}],"Remedies":[],"RemedyOptions":[]},{"RecallID":4700,"RecallNumber":"87036","RecallDate":"1987-06-23T00:00:00","Description":"Kenmore Canister Vacuum Cleaners Recalled by Sears NEWS from CPSC U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Information and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 23, 1987 Release # 87-036 THREE MODELS OF SEARS CANISTER VACUUM CLEANERS RECALLED WASHINGTON, DC -- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Whirlpool Corporation of Benton Harbor, Michigan today announced the recall of Sears Kenmore canister vacuum cleaner models 116.2643581, 116.2643583 and 116.2645082 sold between November 1, 1986 and May 1, 1987.

The motor in some of these cleaners has an opening which exposes moving parts when the canister is opened, the motor filter removed, and when the motor is running. These moving parts may cause severe lacerations or amputations to fingers placed in the opening. There have been 19 serious injuries involving these motor openings. Since 1976, approximately 1.3 million of these canister vacuums were sold nationwide through Sears, Roebuck & Co. stores and catalogs under the Kenmore name and model number. Models with various features sold for between $50 and $280. An easy-to-install, stick-on motor safety screen kit which covers the opening on top of the motor is being provided free of charge to owners of affected models. However, not all Sears Kenmore canister vacuum cleaners sold since 1976 need the kit. Whirlpool is informing known purchasers by direct mail. Consumers who bought canister vacuum cleaners at Sears since 1976 can find out if their vacuum motor requires a safety screen and receive additional information by calling 800-654- 1820 toll-free (have the model number from the bottom of the canister ready) or by visiting the customer service counter of the nearest Sears store. Consumers are warned to take extra care in handling their canister vacuum cleaners until the safety screen is installed.

This product converts a regular dry vacuum cleaner to a vacuum cleaner which can pick up water or other liquids from floors and other surfaces. The product consists of a 3 l/2-gallon plastic bucket and two adapter hoses, one of which can be connected to a dry vacuum cleaner. Sun Hill Industries and the CPSC are concerned that an electric shock hazard could result if the product's bucket becomes full of water or accidentally tips over. Water could then be sucked into the vacuum cleaner, soaking the motor. This could result in a potentially severe or fatal electric shock if anyone touched a metallic part of the vacuum cleaner while standing on a wet floor. No accidents have been reported by purchasers or users of the attachment since it was first introduced in March of 1980. However, Sun Hill Industries is recalling the product in the interest of consumer safety. Sales were discontinued in February 1981, after almost 1,000 units had been distributed. Consumers who have purchased the Sun Vac are requested to return the product directly to Sun Hill Industries, Inc., Glenbrook Industrial Park, 652 Glenbrook Road, Stamford, CT 06906. Refunds for the original purchase price, and for transporting Sun Vac back to the company, will be forwarded directly to the purchaser. Consumers who have questions on return of the product or who wish further clarification should call collect Sun Hill Industries, Inc. at 203-324-7550.","URL":"https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/1982/1000-Sun-Vac-Attachments-Recalled","Title":"Vac Attachments Recalled by Sun Hill","ConsumerContact":null,"LastPublishDate":"2014-12-18T00:00:00","Products":[{"Name":"Sun Vac vacuum cleaners","Description":"","Model":"","Type":"Vacuum Cleaners/Sweepers","CategoryID":"2216","NumberOfUnits":""}],"Inconjunctions":[],"Images":[],"Injuries":[],"Manufacturers":[{"Name":"Sun Hill Industries","CompanyID":""}],"Retailers":[],"Importers":[],"Distributors":[],"SoldAtLabel":null,"ManufacturerCountries":[],"ProductUPCs":[],"Hazards":[{"Name":"Electrocution/Electric Shock","HazardType":"","HazardTypeID":""}],"Remedies":[],"RemedyOptions":[]}]
