Euro-Pro is recalling approximately 142,000 Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away series upright vacuum cleaners. The aluminum wand can unexpectedly disconnect from the vacuum handle while the unit is still powered on, leaving the metal parts energized with electricity. The company has received 62 reports of the wand disconnecting, though no injuries have been reported. These vacuum cleaners were sold in maroon and purple colors at major retailers like Bed Bath & Beyond, Target, and Best Buy between August 2014 and March 2015. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vacuums and contact Euro-Pro for a free replacement wand.
If the aluminum wand detaches from the handle while the vacuum is plugged in, the exposed metal can remain live with electricity. This poses a significant risk of electric shock to anyone who touches the energized wand or handle connection.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vacuum cleaners and contact Euro-Pro to receive a free replacement wand.
