CPSC, Emerson Tool Company Announce Recall of Wet/Dry Vacuums

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

The hazard

The exhaust blower ports on the wet/dry vacuums are large enough for a small child to reach inside and touch the spinning blower wheel. This poses a laceration hazard to small children.

What to do

Consumers should contact Emerson toll-free number to request a free insert. The insert is installed inside the blower port, to eliminate the hazard.
