SIMU Recalls Motors Sold with Awnings and Shutters Due to Shock and Electrocution Hazards

CPSC · 23073 · published 2022-12-15

CPSC campaign 23073

Hazard

The awning and shutter motor's power cable can disconnect while opened or closed manually (using the manual override feature), posing electric shock and electrocution hazards.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop using the manual override feature if their motorized awnings or shutters are not connected to a GFCI outlet or circuit breaker. Consumers should contact SIMU for assistance in identifying the motor and to arrange for a free inspection and replacement motor.
