    Description

    Discovery Channel brand 8-Way Massager with Heat; therapeutic massager; Wahl Clipper Corporation, Sterling, IL 61081, made in China

    Reason

    The housing of the massager's heating applicator attachment may crack during use. If the plastic housing cracks and breaks it could expose the user to live electrical connections and pose a shock hazard.

    Action

    In cooperation with Wahl, the Discovery Channel issued a Stop Sales notice on/or about 12/10/2004 throughout its retail chain including fulfillment centers for the website in the U.S. Wahl sent point of purchase 'Safety Recall Notice' posters to each of the Discovery Channel stores where the massagers were sold. The poster informs the consumer of the electric shock hazard with the heat applicator, illustrates how to determine where the lot number is located on the unit, and instructs the consumer to immediately call customer service at 1-800-767-9245 or visit www.wahl.com or www.shopping.discovery.com to request a free replacement heat applicator. The posters will be posted in the stores and on the Wahl and Discovery websites until 5/1/05.

    Distribution

    The massagers were distributed nationwide, including Puerto Rico, through Discovery Channel stores and their website store.
