Reliance Worldwide is recalling about 26,000 Cash Acme Heatguard Temperature Actuated Flow Reducing (TAFR) devices. These metal, cylindrical devices are installed on faucets and showers to automatically reduce water flow if the temperature reaches 120°F. The thermal element in these devices can fail, which may allow water to reach temperatures hotter than expected. The recalled units were sold at plumbing retailers like Grainger and HD Supply between December 2014 and May 2015. Affected consumers will receive a free replacement device.
The internal thermal element can fail to operate, preventing the device from reducing water flow when temperatures rise. This can cause users to be unexpectedly exposed to water reaching 120°F or higher, posing a serious risk of scalding injuries.
Consumers should use caution when turning on faucets and showers with the recalled TAFR device installed and immediately contact Reliance Worldwide to receive a free replacement TAFR. Consumers will be mailed a replacement TAFR device with step-by-step installation instructions, and a postage pre-paid envelope to return the recalled TAFR to Reliance Worldwide.
