CPSC, Procter & Gamble Announce Recall of Sweep+Vac Battery-Operated Vacuum Cleaner by Swiffer
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The hazard
In some cases, when the vacuum cleaner is left in the "on" position, the rotor can lock up and cause the unit to overheat. This poses a smoke and fire hazard.
What to do
Consumers should stop using the product immediately and disconnect the Sweep+Vac by removing the top section of the pole. To disconnect the vacuum cleaner, press the small green button on the pole, about 12 inches below the handle, then pull the handle straight out. This eliminates any possibility of the unit overheating. Consumers should contact Procter & Gamble for more information on returning the product to receive a free replacement coupon.
