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 the failure of the warning device may increase the risk of a crash, but no injuries or illnesses have been reported.

Plain-English summary

Sirco Industries, Inc. is recalling certain models of warning triangle kits, part number SI1005. These kits were manufactured by Fuzhou Torch Industrial Co., Ltd. and imported by C&J International Trading as part number TO-502.

The affected warning triangle kits do not have the manufacturer's name permanently marked on each triangle. Additionally, the triangles may be unstable in high winds. As a result, these products fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 125, "Warning Devices."

Noncompliant warning triangles are at an increased risk of performance failure, which may increase the risk of a crash or other safety hazards to motorists by failing to warn other drivers of an impending hazard. Sirco will notify owners and offer a full refund or a suitable replacement item. The recall is expected to begin during December 2014. Owners may contact Sirco Customer Service at 1-800-323-0647.
