Weather Radios Recalled
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of weather radios. Consumers should not rely on some weather radios made by Oregon Scientific.
About 66,000 weather radios have been recalled because they failed to receive National Weather Service alerts. In the event of severe weather, this failure could put a consumer's life and property at risk.
This recall involves the following Weather Radios and Weather Stations: All Hazards Portable Weather Alert Radio, WR103NX; Portable Public Alert Radio, WR108; Public Alert Weather Station, WRB308; and John Deere Public Alert Weather Station, WRB308J.
These radios were sold at retail stores nationwide, including some electronics and sporting goods stores, online retailers and in catalogs from December 2005 through June 2007 for between $30 and $150.
Consumers should contact Oregon Scientific for instructions on returning the radio to receive a free replacement.
For additional information, contact Oregon Scientific at (800) 203-4921 between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Pacific time Monday through Friday or visit the firm's Web site at www2.oregonscientific.com.
