Norelco has reports of 30 incidents in which the cord shorted out upon being initially plugged into the wall while connected to the rechargeable stand. There are approximately 4 reports of minor personal injury. This product was introduced in 1984. Approximately 500,000 have been distributed.
These shavers retail for approximately $79.95 and have been sold nationwide. The stand is black and has the word "ROTATRACT" printed on it in white lettering. Approximately 60,000 of the stands are estimated to have reached consumers in 1986.
If you have a new Norelco shaver with a stand, do not plug it in.
Return the stand only, not the shaver or the cord, to Norelco Service,
Inc., Dept. 1337, 2100 East Valencia, Fullerton, CA 92631. Norelco will
replace the stand and refund your postage. You may continue to use the
shaver with the cord while your stand accessory is being serviced. If
you have any questions, please call Norelco directly at 800-227-1032.
