Little Giant Cooler Pumps Recalled

October 13, 2004
Little Giant evaporative cooler pumps are being recalled. The motor caps on the cooler pumps are not made with flame- retardant material and an internal electrical failure can ignite the cap, posing a fire hazard to consumers.

The firm has received 26 reports of pump fires with two incidents involving property damage.

Units with beige motor caps are not included in this recall.

Industrial/HVAC distributors and hardware stores sold the pumps from February 2003 through August 2004 for between $35 and $85.

Consumers should stop using the pump immediately and contact Little Giant to receive a replacement cap and instructions free of charge.

The recalled pumps circulate water in evaporative coolers which cool the air in a room or building through the evaporation of water. The recalled units have a light blue motor cap and include the following model and item numbers, which can be found on a label on the motor cap:

Model #	Item #
CP1 – 115	540005
CP1 – 230	540015
CP2 – 115	541005
CP2 – 230	541015
CP3 – 115	542005
CP3 – 230	542015

Contact the company toll-free at (888) 271-1369 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday and between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. CT on Saturday or log on to the company’s Web site at www.littlegiant.com/Safety_Recall_Notice.pdf

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