The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Hoover Inc., announced a voluntary recall of about 108,000 Hoover® WindTunnel T-Series™ Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaners with Cord Rewind Feature.

The power cord is not properly routed or securely seated in the cord rewind assembly allowing the power cord to be pulled loose. This poses fire and shock hazards.

Hoover has received three reports of minor burns to carpet and furniture and one report of a minor burn to a consumer’s hand.
