SIMU Recalls Motors Sold with Awnings and Shutters Due to Shock and Electrocution Hazards

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

The hazard

The awning and shutter motor's power cable can disconnect while opened or closed manually (using the manual override feature), posing electric shock and electrocution hazards.

What to do

Consumers should immediately stop using the manual override feature if their motorized awnings or shutters are not connected to a GFCI outlet or circuit breaker. Consumers should contact SIMU for assistance in identifying the motor and to arrange for a free inspection and replacement motor.
