Plain-English summary

TOA Electronics Inc. is recalling approximately 2,600 SC series paging horn loudspeakers. The recall involves models SC-610T, SC-615, SC-630, and SC-630T manufactured between June 2008 and November 2008. The speakers were sold at audio retailers nationwide from March 2008 through December 2009 for between $70 and $130.

The speaker housing can crack at the mounting bracket, causing the speakers to fall from their mounting. This poses a risk of injury from impact to consumers. Higher failure rates have occurred in high temperature and humidity environments. TOA has received 18 reports of speakers falling in Japan, but no incidents or injuries have been reported in the United States.

Consumers should immediately stop using and take down any mounted speakers. Consumers can contact TOA directly or their local TOA dealer for instructions on receiving a free replacement product.
