Is my product affected?

Hoover® WindTunnel T-Series™ Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaners with Cord Rewind Feature

  • Brand Hoover Inc., of Glenwillow, Ohio

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Hoover is recalling WindTunnel T-Series Bagless Upright vacuum cleaners with model numbers UH70110, UH70120, UH70200, UH70205, or UH70210 that have manufacturing codes ending in H09A, I09A, J09A, or K09A (except those with K09A followed by a green dot). The power cord in these vacuums is not properly routed or secured in the cord rewind assembly, which allows the cord to come loose and creates fire and shock hazards. The model number and manufacturing code can be found on a label on the lower rear of the vacuum.

Consumers who have one of the recalled vacuums should immediately stop using it and contact Hoover for a free repair. The source does not specify additional details about how to contact Hoover or what the repair process entails.
