Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Wayne Industries Inc. is recalling over 40,000 portable electric advertising signs due to a lack of ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs), which could expose consumers to electric shock or electrocution. The recalled signs are white, measuring 40 inches by 8 feet, with a black metal frame and a large black arrow with yellow lights across the top. They were sold nationwide between January 1982 and January 1995 for approximately $300 at retailers including Sam's Warehouse Club, Warehouse Depot, and BJ's Wholesale. One consumer death from electrocution and one injury claim have been associated with these signs.
To determine if your sign is affected, disconnect it immediately and inspect underneath the small cover near the tip of the arrow for two buttons marked "T" and "R." If these buttons are absent, your sign lacks GFCI protection and is part of the recall. Signs with an Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Label have GFCI protection and are not included in this recall. According to the record, consumers should call Wayne Industries at (800) 239-9990 to obtain an attachable ground fault circuit interrupter.
