CPSC, Eugenio Serafin Inc. Announce Recall of Electric Showerhead Hot Water Heaters Sold in Puerto Rico
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The hazard
The nozzle can be easily unscrewed, exposing the uninsulated heater coil. The heater coil's grounding screw does not sufficiently reduce the current through the water, posing an electrocution and shock hazard to the bather.
What to do
Consumers should stop using these showerhead hot water heaters immediately and return them to the store where purchased, for a refund.
