Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 72,000 Stinger BK series insect and mosquito zappers are being recalled because the internal insect kill grid can detach inside the housing. This defect can cause the zapper to pose an electrical shock hazard to anyone handling the unit. The recall affects Stinger Insect Zapper (BK 110v3), 3-in-1 Insect Zapper (BK310v3), and 5-in-1 Insect & Mosquito Zapper (BK510v3) models sold nationwide at Home Depot, Ace Hardware, and other retailers from April 2018 through August 2018. Kaz has received three reports of the internal grid detaching, though no injuries have been reported; consumers should stop using the units and return them for a full refund.

Risk

The internal electrical grid used to kill insects can come loose within the plastic housing, potentially making contact with accessible parts of the device and causing a shock to the user. Kaz has received three reports of this detachment occurring.

What You Should Do

  2. Verify if the model code on the label ends in 'YTG' and indicates it was 'Made in China' to confirm it is part of the recall.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled insect zapper and unplug it from any power source or extension cord.
