CPSC & Midland Consumer Radio Recall Weather Radios

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

The hazard

The radio contains a programming error, which can cause the device to fail to recognize certain signals broadcast by the National Weather Service. Consumers could fail to receive some National Weather Service notices advising of a severe weather threat putting lives and property at risk.

What to do

Consumers should immediately return the recalled radio to the store where purchased, to receive a new model 74-200 radio that has been programmed correctly. Consumers also can return the radio directly to Midland Consumer Radio, 1670 North Topping Ave., Kansas City, MO 64120 for replacement.
