Handheld Massager Recall Issued Following Burn Injury Reports May 3, 2017 Russell Maas Add Your Comments More than 400,000 handheld massagers have been recalled, following more than 140 reports involving problems where the power cord broke and exposed electrical wires, resulting in more than a dozen burn injuries. A HoMedics handheld massagers recall was announced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on May 2, due to a risk that exposed wires may cause the device to begin sparking, smoking, and in some cases began shooting flames from the massager. To date, the CPSC is aware of at least 15 reported burn injuries to consumer’s fingers, arms and other parts of the body. The CPSC recall notice warns consumers to stop using the products immediately due to the risk of electric shock and burn injuries, as well as the risk of fire.
