Oxmoor House has implemented a very large recall of about 540,000 <"https://www.yourlawyer.com/practice_areas/product_liability">Home Improvement Books due to faulty wiring instructions and shock and fire hazards to consumers, said the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Consumers are advised to stop using these products immediately and are advised that it is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product.

About 951,000 home improvement books with similar faulty wiring instructions were recalled in January 2010. That recall notice can be accessed here.

The recalled Home Improvement Books were published by Oxmoor House, Inc., of Birmingham, Alabama and contain errors in the technical diagrams and wiring instructions that could lead consumers to incorrectly install or repair electrical wiring, posing an electrical shock or fire hazard to consumers. To date, no incidents or injuries have been reported.

The recall involves the following 17 home improvement books, which were published in the United States and sold at home improvement and book stores for between $5 and $20 dollars from 1955 through December 2005. These titles, which span back as far as 50 years, are out of print and were last sold by retailers in 2005; however, they are likely still on bookshelves in consumers’ homes. A complete breakdown of books’ ISBN-10 and ISBN-13 numbers and publishing dates can be accessed at the CPSC website at: http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml11/11701.html

Parker Waichman LLP helped me with my claim and proceeded to fight for what was right, just and fair. Their attorneys and staff were very professional, kind and understanding. I would furthermore like to point out that Benita Rollis was especially kind to me and extremely knowledgeable with explaining the process and what to expect. Thank you.

This law firm is awesome. Alex and Cathy did there thing. As long as I been with them I still don't know Cathy's name. They were NEVER to busy. The young ladies in the front lobby very nice. When they would see me they knew my name. That's how I knew I had the right law firm. Thank you for easing my mind.

I’m really satisfied with my experience dealing with Parker and Waichman and especially my attorney, Mathew Hinrichs, along with the support staff (Jacqueline & Theresa). My attorney is very professional and thorough but very approachable. He always returns calls/emails even in the early evening if necessary. His support staff of Paralegals are professional and thorough as well. This law firm gets things done! My confidence in Parker Waichman is very high, and I have been recommending this law firm to others here in Milwaukee by word of mouth. This recommendation will continue.
