CPSC Recalls
Bath
Air-Whirlpool Baths
CPSC #03-026, 29Oct02. Jason International is voluntarily recalling about 800 Jason AirMasseurTM and Air
Whirlpool Baths. Air baths release heated bubbles into the water. A heating element on these baths can fail to shut off, posing a fire hazard.
Electric Showerhead Hot
Water Heaters
CPSC #02-155, 07May02. Eugenio Serafin is
voluntarily recalling about 32,500 electric showerhead hot water heaters. The showerhead hot water heaters are attached to the shower's water supply piping and connected to the household electrical supply source when central hot water is not available. The nozzle can be easily unscrewed, exposing the uninsulated heater coil. The heater coil's grounding screw does not sufficiently reduce the current through the water, posing an electrocution and shock hazard to the bather.
Shower Doors
CPSC #02-073, 21Dec01. Kohler is voluntarily
recalling about 41,000 shower doors. The door hinges can fail, causing the shower door to fall and injure nearby consumers. Kohler has received 11 reports of hinges failing and shower doors falling, including one report of minor injuries, such as cuts and scratches from sharp edges on the door's frame.
