ITT Water Technology Inc. Expands Recall of Faulty Pumps for Fire
Suppression Systems
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in
cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary
recall of the following consumer product.
Name of Product: Goulds Pumps, Bell & Gossett and Red Jacket Water
Products Brand Pumps for Fire Suppression Systems
Units: About 3,000 additional units (18,300 units recalled in August
2006)
Manufacturer: ITT Water Technology Inc., of Auburn, N.Y.
Hazard: A mechanical part on these pumps was not fully secured, which
can lead to the pump failing during use. If pumps sold with fire
suppression systems fail, the risk of fire damage increases. The pump
itself does not pose a fire hazard. These pumps were previously
recalled
for the same hazard in August 2006. The recall has now been expanded to
include additional date codes and the dates sold have been expanded.
Incidents/Injuries: ITT Water Technology Inc. has received one report
of
a pump failing to start during a system test. No injuries have been
reported.
Description: The recalled pumps are general in purpose, but are
sometimes used in fire suppression systems. The pumps were sold under
the Goulds Pumps, Bell & Gossett and Red Jacket Water Products brands.
The pumps can be identified by having Model NPE, NPO, MCC, MCS, SM or
Series 3530 on their nameplate. Recalled pumps were manufactured
between
December 2005 and September 7, 2006. They have date code M05, A06, B06,
C06, D06, E06, F06, G06, H06 or J06. The date code is the first three
digits of the serial number on the pump nameplate.
Sold at: Pump distributors nationwide from December 2005 through
September 2006 for about $800.
Manufactured in: United States
Remedy: Installers of fire suppression systems will be contacted by ITT
Water Technology Inc. to schedule an inspection and replacement. Please
contact ITT Water Technology Inc. if you have not been contacted yet.
Consumer Contact: For more information, call ITT Water Technology Inc.
