In Reply to: Ken, this is a new release...... posted by ChrisM on December 19, 2001 at 15:19:59:
I just read the original notice we got from DUI and the CPSC notice. They seem the same to me.
The original DUI notice said the defective valves were red, and the replacement valves would be yellow.
The CPSC notice says that since it's tough to distinguish good valves from bad ones, " . . . Therefore all overpressure valves with a red pull are included in this recall."
They end with, "All new OPVs are equipped with yellow pulls."
That doesn't sound like a recall of the recall to me. That sounds like they're simply saying what DUI said: Out with the red, in with the yellow.
