Approximately 100,000 HDX and Powermate brand two-gallon electric air compressors are being recalled. The pressure switch terminals can touch the motor housing, causing the entire air compressor to become electrified. This pose a serious shock hazard to anyone touching the device. These compressors were sold at The Home Depot, Menards, and other nationwide retailers between June 2010 and October 2013.
The internal electrical terminals can come into contact with the metal motor housing, electrifying the exterior of the unit. This creates a significant risk of electric shock to consumers during use or handling.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled air compressors and contact MAT Industries for a free repair.
