CPSC, Essex PB&R Announce Recall of Plus 10® Fire Escape Hoods

CPSC · 03551 · published 2003-09-08

CPSC campaign 03551

Hazard

These fire escape hoods do not provide protection against certain chemical warfare agents (Sarin, Tabum and Soman), as previously claimed in marketing materials and on the firm's Web site. The product can still be used as an escape filter hood in fire and smoke emergencies.

Remedy

If consumers purchased the fire escape hood for protection against chemical warfare agents, they can return it to Essex PB&R Corp for a refund.

The text above is quoted verbatim from the CPSC record. Confirm the affected units and the remedy with the manufacturer or CPSC. Recall data may be incomplete, delayed, or superseded.
