&The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, along with Campbell Hausfeld, has announced a voluntary recall of approximately 233,000 Campbell Hausfeld and Husky Air Compressors because the protective covers on the compressor’s motor are not made from proper flame retardant material and can ignite, posing a fire hazard.
To date, 11 reports of fires have been received but no injuries have been reported.
The recall involves the following air compressors: model numbers HL 410100, HL421000, HL 421500, HL 431500, and HL5402. The affected serial numbers have a prefix of HY, KB or HU followed by a date code from November 2006 through November 2007.;br />
The compressors were sold at home improvement stores nationwide from September 2005 through November 2007 for approximately $200.
