Showerhead Hot Water Heaters Sold in Puerto Rico Recalled
Eugenio Serafin Inc. is voluntarily recalling about 32,500 electric showerhead hot water heaters sold under the Corona, Corona Maxi, and Fammy model names.
Eugenio Serafin Inc., of Bayamon, Puerto Rico, is voluntarily recalling about 32,500 electric showerhead hot water heaters sold under the Corona, Corona Maxi, and Fammy model names in Puerto Rico, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The showerhead hot water heaters are attached to the shower's water supply piping and connected to the household electrical supply source when central hot water is not available. The nozzle can be easily unscrewed, exposing the uninsulated heater coil. The heater coil's grounding screw does not sufficiently reduce the current through the water, posing an electrocution and shock hazard to the bather, according to CPSC.
CPSC and Eugenio Serafin have not received any reports of injuries or incidents associated with these showerhead water heaters.
