Packaging Tape Inc. is recalling about 2,800 air movers and blowers, specifically models OPS-2500-CF, OPS-2500-CFR, and OPS-2200Y-CF. These units are used to dry floors and were sold between February 2008 and December 2010. The internal thermal switch can fail, causing the motor to overheat and potentially start a fire. There have been eight reports of incidents, including four fires, with one fire resulting in approximately $225,000 in property damage. Consumers should immediately stop using these blowers and contact the company for a full refund.
The blower's thermal switch can fail to shut off the motor during an overheat condition, allowing the motor to reach temperatures high enough to ignite the plastic housing. This has already resulted in four reported fires and significant property damage.
User should stop using the recalled air movers/blowers and contact Packaging Tape to receive a full refund.
