About The
Program
InSinkErator is cooperating with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC) in a voluntary Recall to Repair Program for certain
instant hot water dispensers made between 1972 and 1996. If your
dispenser is involved in this program you will receive a repair
kit free of charge.

Situation
If water leaks from the metal holding tank within the affected units,
it can wet the insulating material and this could lead to electrical
arcing and heat build-up within the dispenser. This could create
a fire. Three (3) reports have been received of units with this
condition, one report involved a kitchen fire that caused nearly
$7,000 in property damage (as of June 27th, 2002 when this site
was launched). [confirm wording ties to final press release and
confirm date].
When InSinkErator
became aware of the potential problem posed by this situation,
we immediately alerted the CPSC and began working in the best interests
of consumer safety.
