ITT Water Technology Inc. Expands Recall of Faulty Pumps for Fire Suppression Systems
CPSC Recall1 injuries · 2006-10-25 · 07018
Hazards
A mechanical part on these pumps was not fully secured, which can lead to the pump failing during use. If pumps sold with fire suppression systems fail, the risk of fire damage increases. The pump itself does not pose a fire hazard. These pumps were previously recalled for the same hazard in August 2006. The recall has now been expanded to include additional date codes and the dates sold have been expanded.
