PLEASE READ: VACUUM CLEANERS SUBJECT TO RECALL FOR SAFETY ISSUES

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING HOOVER WINDTUNNEL T-SERIES REWIND BAGLESS UPRIGHT VACUUMS DISTRIBUTED PRIOR TO NOVEMBER 23, 2009

Hoover, Inc. has voluntarily alerted the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) of a possible defect that could pose a safety hazard in select models of the WindTunnel T-Series family of upright vacuums. Hoover will repair the vacuums with a new cord rewind assembly at no charge to you.

POTENTIAL HAZARD

This alert is limited to select models of the Hoover® WindTunnel T-Series™ Bagless Upright vacuums. Specifically, models with the cord rewind feature, which is designed to retract the power cord for storage. Some of the power cords may not be routed properly or securely seated in the cord rewind assembly. Power cords could be pulled loose, causing a potential fire or shock hazard. To date, there have been 3 reports of minor burns to carpet and furniture, and 1 report of a minor burn to the hand, which did not require medical attention. Hoover® WindTunnel T-Series™ Bagless Upright vacuums without the Cord Rewind Feature are NOT affected.
