Majestic Floor Cleaners Recalled


April 29, 2009
HMI Industries is recalling about 44,000 Majestic 360 floor cleaners. The cleaners' wiring can overheat, causing electrical arcing and melting. This poses a burn hazard to consumers.

HMI has received 40 reports of overheating and damage to carpets. No injuries have been reported.

The recalled floor cleaner is a black-colored, canister-style vacuum with a powered floor tool. The words "Majestic 360" and "FILTERQUEEN" are printed on a label located on the unit.

The cleaners, made in the United States, were sold through independent distributors nationwide from September 2004 through August 2006 for about $1800.

Consumers should stop using the recalled floor cleaners immediately and contact the firm to arrange for a free repair at an authorized repair center.

For additional information, contact HMI Industries at (800) 566-5606 between 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's Web site at www.Filterqueen.com.

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
