Zoeller Pump Co. Recalls Septic Pumps Due to Shock Hazard
February 23, 2007
Zoeller Pump Co., of Louisville, KY is recalling about 2,300 Zoeller Brand Septic Pumps with a 20-foot black cord with a plug. The plug on the pumps could have a grounding problem that could pose an electrical shock hazard to consumers.
The pumps have date codes 0906 and 1006. On models 53, 57, 151, 152 and 153 the date code is printed on the nameplate on the top of the pump. On Model WM48 the date code is printed on the tag near the plug. “Philippines” is stamped on the plug. A list of specific part numbers, model numbers, date codes and UPC codes can be found at www.zoeller.com. Pumps that have already been hard wired during installation (where the plug has been removed) are not included in the recall.
