## Recall
- **Number:** 02155
- **Date:** 2002-05-07
- **Injuries reported:** 1
## Products

Electric showerhead hot water heaters

## Hazards

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.

## Retailer(s)

Hardware stores and home improvement centers sold the recalled hot water heater components in Puerto Rico, from January 1999 to March 2002, for about $18.

## Importer(s)

Eugenio Serafin Inc., of Bayamon, Puerto Rico

## Country of manufacture

Venezuela

## Description

The recalled showerhead hot water heaters were sold under the Corona, Corona Maxi, and Fammy model names. They are packaged in a clear plastic bag with a card that reads, in part, "ducha", "HECHO EN VENEZUELA POR: TECHNI" and "MIRANDA, VENEZUELA". 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.
