Craftsman 16-gallon and RIDGID 12- and 16-gallon wet/dry vacuums
Published January 14, 2025 · Recall initiated: December 16, 2003
What's the hazard
The exhaust blower ports on the wet/dry vacuums are large enough for a small child to reach inside and touch the spinning blower wheel. This poses a laceration hazard to small children.
What to do
Consumers should contact Emerson toll-free number to request a free insert. The insert is installed inside the blower port, to eliminate the hazard.
