Sycamore Recalls Gas Generators

March 18, 2009
About 1,500 Sycamore Pro gas generators are being recalled. A plastic sediment cup attached to the bottom of the fuel valve can crack during shipping and handling and cause fuel leakage or spillage, posing a fire hazard to consumers.

Sycamore SCS has received nine reports of generators leaking. No injuries or property damage have been reported.

This recall involves the following models of the Sycamore Pro gas generators: APEX 3, APEX 7, APEX 6, EGS 3.2, EGS 4.8, and EGS 7. “Sycamore Professional” and the model name can be found on the front of the generator. All models are black and green and have side control panels. The APEX 3, 6, and 7 are portable generators and have two wheels. The EGS 3.2, 4.8, and 7.2 do not have wheels.

The generators, made in China, were sold by various dealers and stores in Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Oregon, Texas, and Washington between May 2008 and October 2008 for between $940 and $2,340.

Consumers should stop using the recalled generators immediately and contact Sycamore SCS for a free replacement sediment cup. All known consumers have been notified.

For additional information, contact Sycamore SCS at (800) 801-2051 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, or visit the firm’s Web site at www.sycamorepro.com.

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
