Shark Powered Rotator Lift-Away vacuum cleaners
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Euro-Pro is recalling four models of Shark brand Rotator Powered Lift-Away upright vacuum cleaners due to a shock hazard. The aluminum wand on these units can disconnect from the handle while still carrying an electrical charge, creating a risk of electric shock to users. The recalled models are NV650W, NV651, NV652, and NV660, which are either maroon or purple in color, measure approximately 45 inches tall by 12 inches wide, and feature a clear plastic middle section with "Shark" and "Rotator" printed on the front. Model NV650W was sold directly by Euro-Pro, while models NV652, NV651, and NV660 were sold at retail stores.
Consumers can identify whether their vacuum is part of the recall by checking the model number on a silver sticker on the upper right-hand corner of the back of the unit and the date code on the metal prong of the power plug, which shows the week and year of manufacture. Recalled units have date codes beginning with 48 or lower and ending with 14. Units marked with a dimple or green circle sticker on the plastic cuff holding the aluminum wand have been inspected and are not part of this recall. According to the recall notice, consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vacuum cleaners and contact Euro-Pro to receive a free replacement wand.
