Harbor Freight Tools is recalling its Holt Industries Deluxe Manual Fluid Extractor and Dispenser units with part number 56384. The recall is due to a safety concern with the pressure relief plug in the product, which may not consistently operate as intended, particularly if the flow of fluid out of the product is restricted while in dispense mode, such as when the hose is kinked or there is contamination blocking the outlet of the hose. In certain units, if the outlet becomes blocked, the pressure relief plug may not activate to relieve the pressure within the unit while in dispense mode. This, in turn, could cause the lid of the unit to unexpectedly separate from the body of the unit, increasing the risk of injury to users.
HFT has the name and contact information for over 91% of customers who purchased the product and will directly contact them to confirm their current mailing addresses to provide replacement assemblies/repair kits. HFT will publicize the recall notice through outlets it controls – its website, social media accounts, and stores. The remedy will be a component part replacement of the product lid, which the user can easily install. HFT will send the lid ring and pour spout cap with a new integrated pressure relief valve to the consumer with instructions on how to replace the part at issue in this recall.
The recalled components have a pressure relief plug integrated into the vacuum line and a less rigid screw cap (blue in color). The remedy components will have (1) a replacement spout cap that contains a new integrated pressure relief valve that is designed to activate at approximately 20 psi, and (2) a replacement screw cap constructed of more rigid material that resists higher pressure. The replacement screw cap will be black (instead of blue) to distinguish it from the existing product, and the replacement spout cap will have a new integrated pressure relief valve to distinguish it from the existing product. Consumers will be advised to dispose of the original spout and screw cap.
In summary, the Holt Industries Deluxe Manual Fluid Extractor and Dispenser is being recalled due to a safety concern with the pressure relief plug. The remedy will be a component part replacement of the product lid, which the user can easily install. Consumers who have purchased this product should contact Harbor Freight to receive the replacement assemblies/repair kits.
