Royal Sovereign has recalled approximately 33,570 Royal Sovereign and Royal Centurian portable air conditioners due to a fire hazard. The recall affects several models including PAC-3012 and ARP-3014, which were sold at major retailers like Home Depot, Costco, and Best Buy between March 2008 and August 2014. Consumers should immediately stop using and unplug the units to receive a pro-rated refund.
A faulty drain motor in the air conditioners can ignite the plastic enclosure, causing fires and smoke inhalation hazards. There have been 11 reports of fire or smoke, resulting in over $1 million in property damage, two injuries, and one death due to smoke inhalation.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled portable air conditioners, unplug the unit, follow the instructions online at www.Recall-PAC3012.com for properly severing the electrical cord rendering the unit unusable, and contact Royal Sovereign for a pro-rated refund based on the age of the portable air conditioner. Failure to unplug the unit could result in shock, electrocution, or death.
