Reasons the product is recalled

The hazards to consumers
Electric shock.
What consumers should do
New Presscontrols can be returned to their place of purchase for inspection or replacement at the discretion of the retailer. Alternatively, consumers can contact Pentair Water direct on 1800 664 266 to arrange for inspection and replacement, if required.
