Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Norelco is recalling stands included with model HP 1337 and HP 1323 rechargeable electric shavers produced in 1986 due to a shock or minor burn hazard. The hazard occurs when the cord shorts out upon initial plugging into the wall while connected to the stand. Approximately 60,000 of these black stands, marked with "ROTATRACT" in white lettering, reached consumers in 1986. Norelco has received 30 reports of cord shorting incidents, with approximately 4 reports of minor personal injury.
If you have a new Norelco shaver with this stand, the record advises not to plug it in. You should return only the stand (not the shaver or cord) to Norelco Service, Inc., Dept. 1337, 2100 East Valencia, Fullerton, CA 92631. Norelco will replace the stand and refund your postage. You may continue to use the shaver with the cord while waiting for the stand replacement. For questions, you may call Norelco at 800-227-1032.
