CPSC, Essex PB&R Announce Recall of Plus 10® Fire Escape Hoods

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The hazard

These fire escape hoods do not provide protection against certain chemical warfare agents (Sarin, Tabum and Soman), as previously claimed in marketing materials and on the firm's Web site. The product can still be used as an escape filter hood in fire and smoke emergencies.

What to do

If consumers purchased the fire escape hood for protection against chemical warfare agents, they can return it to Essex PB&R Corp for a refund.
