Reason for Recall

Possible electrical shock hazard, as the power cord grounding pin may break off or become detached.

Firm Action

Letters dated April 24, 2003 were sent to each consignee instructing them to inspect the beds for power cords with non-flared ground pins, to cut plug off any such cords when found, and replace these plugs with new plugs with the flared ground pin. [The type of plug on the unit can be seen by the naked eye, as the plug is transparent plastic molding.]
