What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria in the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Load Systems International (LSI) is recalling approximately 100 LSI model GS025 wind speed sensors. The recall involves sensors with serial numbers 100015 and 100412, which can be found on the underside of the product's base. The charcoal-grey sensors are 7 inches high, feature "LSI" printed on one side, and have three windspeed cups on top. These sensors are often used by crane operators to gauge wind conditions when lifting and moving items.

The hazard is that the sensor can fail to display an accurate data reading, causing crane operators and other users to incorrectly gauge wind conditions. This poses a risk of injury from impact to the consumer. No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.

The sensors were sold by LSI distributors nationwide from March 2013 to June 2013 for about $400. Consumers should stop using the wind speed sensors and contact LSI for instructions on returning the recall sensor for a replacement unit. LSI is contacting known customers directly. Consumers can also contact LSI customer service toll-free at (888) 819-4355 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or online at www.loadsystems.com.
