Is my product affected?

Elkay and Halsey Taylor water coolers and bottle filling stations

  • Brand Elkay Plumbing Products Company, of Savanna, Ill.

What happened

Elkay is recalling water coolers and bottle filling stations because internal screws that secure the grounding wire can break, allowing the grounding wire to become loose and create a shock hazard. The affected units are Elkay and Halsey Taylor branded models primarily installed in public facilities such as schools, universities, office buildings, and airports. Consumers can identify whether their unit is affected by checking if it bears an Elkay or Halsey Taylor nameplate and has a serial number beginning with 1704, 1705, or 1706, along with one of the specific model numbers listed in the recall.

According to the recall record, consumers with affected water coolers and bottle filling stations should immediately stop using them and unplug the units. Consumers should then contact Elkay for a free repair. The company provides a website at www.checkmycooler.com with additional information on how to locate the model numbers and serial numbers on the units.
