WOW! Thanks for posting that Marcel.
And another tonight, guess where it is made.

This recall made in USA. Might be seen during an Inspection.
http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml12/12201.html
Hazard: The system can burst at or near the vessel weld seam releasing stored pressure. This pressure can lift the tank lid and shatter the tank, posing impact or laceration hazards to consumers and property damage.
Thanks for posting I think.
It was sold for 11 years and a total of nearly 2.5 million.
I seldom look in the toilet tank unless it fails to flush.
I have no plans to change that procedure.
If fact it may be time to include a disclaimer in my report and refer my client to the CSPC site.
There simply are far too many things that can go bump.
Inspectors are not magicians and fortune tellers.
Observe
report
get paid
go home
sleep well
It sounds like Nathan has a service that many benefit from. Do all members that use his service, described here, alert the client that they make comissions from the client’s use of his service? Just curious how users are advertising it. Thanks.
Don’t let this one become a fireworks for your Kids.
Overseas Manufacturers at their best;
Check out your gas Dryers please;

**Hazard: **The gas valve in the recalled dryers can fail to shut off properly, continuing to heat the dryer and its contents after the drying cycle is complete.

**Description: **LG Electronics and Sears’ Kenmore Elite brand gas dryers come in the following colors: LG models in white; Kenmore Elite® in red, white and ginger (gold). Model and serial numbers can be found on a label fixed to the front of the dryer above the opened door, which can be viewed only when the dryer door is open. To confirm if your dryer is part of this recall, identify both model and serial numbers, since not all dryers with the listed models are recalled.
