Servepro has recalled about 24,000 Notus model air movers/blowers used by independently-owned Servepro franchises.
According to the company, the internal electrical capacitor of the air movers/blowers can fail and overheat, posing a fire hazard. Servepro says that it has received four reports of overheating incidents involving the recalled air movers/blowers. Three of the incidents resulted in property damage, including a residential fire in California that resulted in an estimated $475,000 in damage.
The air movers/blowers were manufactured by EDIC of Los Angeles, CA, and sold to Servepro’s independent franchises nationwide from April 2004 through August 2010 for between $200 and $230.
Separately, EDIC has issued its own recall of an additional 53,000 air movers/blowers. According to EDIC, these units were sold to flood remediation contractors and other service professionals from January 2003 through September 2011 for between $160 and $285.
