TTI Floor Care is recalling about 6,200 Oreck Discover Upright Vacuums because a prong from the electric cord plug can detach and remain inside an electrical outlet when the vacuum is unplugged. The firm has received 41 reports of the plug prongs detaching, which creates a significant safety risk, though no injuries have been reported. The recalled vacuums were sold nationwide from September 2022 through September 2023 for about $600.
A detached plug prong left inside an electrical outlet poses a serious electrical shock hazard to anyone who comes into contact with it. This occurs when the vacuum is unplugged and the prong breaks off, staying behind in the live outlet.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vacuums and contact Oreck or their local Oreck dealer for instructions on how to obtain a free repair. To locate the nearest authorized dealer, go to "Find Your Local Store" at www.oreck.com.
The model and serial number are printed on a silver data label on the bottom of the vacuum.
