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

What happened

ITT Water Technology is recalling sump pumps manufactured between December 2009 and July 2010 under the brand names Goulds, Red Jacket, and Bell & Gossett. These pumps, which are sky blue or red in color and used in residential applications to pump wastewater and sewage, can pose an electric shock or electrocution hazard if touched when plugged in because they lack proper ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection. The recalled models include Goulds ST, PE, PS, PV, GWP, and SDSST; Red Jacket RSC, REP, RWW, RVW, RWP, and RSDSST; and Bell & Gossett SC, 1EC, 2WC, 2VW, MWP, and MSDS.

If you have purchased a sky blue or red sump pump from these brands during the recall period, you should not touch the pump, the water around it, or the surrounding floor area. You should immediately contact ITT Water Technology to verify whether your pump is affected by the recall. If your pump is recalled, ITT Water Technology will send a technician to your home to replace or repair the pump.
