Big Muddy Motor Sports is recalling about 450 PowerPlus generators. The 220-volt receptacle can fail to produce power correctly and cause power surges that can damage appliances. This poses a risk of fire and possible injury to consumers.
The firm has received five reports of power surges resulting in damage to appliances. No injuries have been reported.
The recalled PowerPlus Generators are red with a black frame. The model number (BM7200 Power+) is printed on the side of the unit. Recalled units have a date of manufacture of 02/2009 labeled on the fuel tank.
The generators, made in China, were sold at Buchheit retail stores in Illinois and Missouri during May 2009 for about $700.
Customers should immediately stop using the recalled generator and return it to any Buchheit store for an exchange or full refund.
For additional information, contact Big Muddy Motor Sports at (800) 678-3607 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's Web site at www.buchheitonline.com or www.bigmuddymotorsports.com.
The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
