Plain-English summary
Woodstream Corporation is recalling approximately 28,000 Mosquito Magnet traps sold in the United States. The recall involves specific models of the traps and the Quick Clear Cartridge kits used to clean the nozzle after changing propane tanks. The affected models include the Independence, Executive, Commander, Patriot, and Patriot/Patriot Plus, with specific model numbers and serial number ranges listed in the official notice.
The hazard exists because the mosquito traps can become damaged if cleaned while powered on using the Quick Clear Cartridge kits. This damage can cause the line regulator to break, propelling broken pieces and posing an injury hazard to consumers. There has been one report of damage to the mosquito trap line regulator while using the kits, but no injuries have been reported.
The traps were sold at Home Depot, various hardware and home improvement stores, and online at www.mosquitomagnets.com from December 2014 through December 2016 for between $330 and $1,000. Consumers should immediately stop using the Quick Clear Cartridge kits on the recalled traps and contact Woodstream for a free repair of the regulator hose. Woodstream can be reached toll-free at 877-224-1538 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or via email and online resources.
