Air Compressors Sold at Wal-Mart Recalled

Air Compressors Recalled Due To Fire Hazard. Campbell Hausfeld Air Compressors sold at Wal-Mart Stores are being recalled because of a potential fire hazard.  According to the Consumer Products Safety Commission, Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled air compressor and return it to any Wal-Mart for a full refund.

The recall involves about 30,000 air compressors manufactured by Campbell Hausfeld, of Harrison, Ohio.   The compressor’s thermal overload, which shuts the unit off when it overheats, can fail. This can lead to overheating, melting of parts and a risk of fire.
