Servpro Notus Air Mover Recall Issued Due to Fire Hazard

About 24,000 Servpro Notus air movers have been recalled after reportedly overheating and causing fires. 

The Servpro Notus air mover recall was announced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on June 26, after Servpro received at least four reports of the blowers overheating.

Three of those overheated air movers caused property damage, with one of the reports involving a house fire in San Diego, California that resulted in $475,000 in damage. The recall notice did not mention any injuries.

The CPSC has determined that the air mover/blowers have a problem with their internal electrical capacitor, which can overheat and fail. The commission has deemed the blowers to be a fire hazard.

The recall affects Servpro Notus commercial air movers/blowers. They are covered in green plastic with a 25-foot yellow electrical cord. The blowers themselves are about 18 inches tall, wide and deep. They are used to dry flooring, walls and furniture inside buildings.

The blowers were manufactured by EDIC of Los Angeles, California, and sold to Servpro franchises nationwide from April 2004 through August 2010 for between $200 and $230.

The CPSC recommends that those who have purchased the air movers stop using them immediately and contact Servpro for a free repair kit. Servpro is in the process of contacting any franchises that bought the air movers directly. Purchasers with questions can contact Carey Cooper at Servpro by calling (800) 543-5362, or can send an email to AirMoverRecall@Klinedinstlaw.com.
