Dirt Devil Recalls Hand Vac Turbo Tool Accessory Due to Laceration Hazard

Agency Publication Date: March 4, 2015

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Royal Appliance is recalling about 22,000 Dirt Devil Scorpion Turbo Quick Flip Hand Vac Turbo Tool accessories because the internal fan can break and eject from the housing. This accessory was sold with the corded Dirt Devil Scorpion Turbo Quick Flip Hand Vac between January 2012 and February 2015. While there have been six reports of the tool breaking, no injuries have been reported. Consumers can continue to use the vacuum itself but must stop using the clear yellowish-green Turbo Tool attachment immediately.

Risk

The plastic turbine fan inside the accessory can shatter and be thrown out of the tool's plastic casing during use, which poses a risk of cuts and lacerations to the user or anyone nearby.

What You Should Do

  1. Check the label on the bottom of your Dirt Devil hand vacuum for model number '08225' and a five-digit manufacture date code ending in 12A U, 13A U, 13B U, or 14B U.
  2. Identify the affected accessory: it is a clear yellowish-green plastic attachment with a black turbine fan and a black brush roll with white bristles, measuring about 5-3/4 inches long by 4-1/2 inches wide.
  3. Immediately stop using the Turbo Tool accessory attachment if it matches the recalled model and date codes.
  4. Contact Royal Appliance toll-free at (888) 393-2063 between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.dirtdevil.com and click on 'Recall Information' at the bottom of the page for instructions on receiving a free replacement tool.
  5. You may continue to safely use the Dirt Devil hand vacuum itself without the Turbo Tool accessory attachment.
  6. For additional questions, contact the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772.
