| 1/27/12 | HONEYWELL PORTABLE ELECTRIC HEATER RECALL: BURN HAZARD The Honeywell Surround Select Portable electric heater has been removed from stores because, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the heater’s internal housing, which includes the fan, heating element and circuitry, is able to detach, which can expose consumers to a burn hazard. The heaters were distributed by Kaz USA Inc. under license from Honeywell. The heaters were sold at Best Buy, Meijer and Wal-Mart stores nationwide for between $50 and $70 from July 2011 through December 2011. Consumers with questions can contact Kaz by calling (800) 370-8137 or by visitng the website at www.kaz.com/recall .

received an email from Dr. V. Shurin, president of Colorado Advanced
Technology (www.ion-plasma.com)
about the Freeze-Free Water Hose (FFWH) developed by his company. "Speaking about water hoses at subfreezing temperatures, our company has developed and patented the Freeze-Free Water Hose. A small air compressor, which is a part of the whole assembly, removes water from a hose and a faucet in just about 30-40 seconds, depending on the length of the hose. So, while installed, you don't have to disassemble the hose at subfreezing temperatures. The systems works very reliably in Colorado, where we live. The price shown on our website for the Freeze-Free Water Hose is incorrect; it is $300 for the whole new assembly." |
