Trane Recalls Air Conditioners after Incidents of Units Smoking

Qingdao Haier Air Conditioner

Hazard: The heating element on these commercially installed units can become displaced and, if it contacts metal, could short circuit. If the electric heater on one of those units short-circuits, wiring problems on 265-volt models could allow the unit to remain energized while the unit's fan is turned off, causing it to overheat and smoke.

No. 07-507Smoke & CO Alarms

ANSUL Recalls Fire Extinguisher that Could Fail to Operate

Ansul

Hazard: If the fire extinguisher is dropped horizontally from a height of approximately 2 to 3 feet, the pick-up tube could crack at the threads between the pick-up tube adaptor and the stainless steel tube. If a pick-up tube is cracked, the extinguisher can fail to discharge properly when activated, which can put users at risk during a fire.
