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. Whenever using the cleaner, unplug it before opening the canister lid.","URL":"https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/1987/SOME-SEARS-CANISTER-VACUUM-CLEANERS-NEED-TO-BE-MODIFIED-TO-PREVENT-INJURIES","Title":"Sears/Kenmore Vacuum Cleaners Repair by Whirlpool","ConsumerContact":null,"LastPublishDate":"1987-03-04T00:00:00","Products":[{"Name":"","Description":"","Model":"","Type":"Vacuum Cleaners/Sweepers","CategoryID":"2216","NumberOfUnits":""},{"Name":"Sears Kenmore canister vacuum cleaners","Description":"","Model":"","Type":"","CategoryID":"","NumberOfUnits":""}],"Inconjunctions":[],"Images":[],"Injuries":[],"Manufacturers":[],"Retailers":[],"Importers":[],"Distributors":[],"SoldAtLabel":null,"ManufacturerCountries":[],"ProductUPCs":[],"Hazards":[{"Name":"Laceration","HazardType":"","HazardTypeID":""}],"Remedies":[],"RemedyOptions":[]},{"RecallID":4219,"RecallNumber":"82019","RecallDate":"1982-04-22T00:00:00","Description":"Vac Attachments Recalled by Sun Hill NEWS from CPSC U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Information and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 22, 1982 Release # 82-019 1000 Sun Vac Attachments Recalled WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Sun Hill Industries, Inc. of Stamford, Connecticut, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, announced today that it is recalling its Sun Vac, a wet vac/dry cleaning vacuum attachment, because of a potential electric shock hazard. 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":[]}]
