Northern Tool & Equipment Recalls Generators Due to Shock Hazard
Minnesota based Northern Tool & Equipment has issued a recall on some power generators due to a shock hazard.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission and Northern Tool & Equipment say the recall affects their $1850 Powerhorse 13000ES Portable Generator Model #799215 that was sold nationwide in its store and online between 2016 - 2020.
This recall is for just over 3,600 units sold because of faulty wiring that has the potential to give the user an electric shock if not grounded according to instructions.
