Air Compressors At Advance Auto Parts Recalled
About 64,000 Chinese-made portable air compressors sold at Advance Auto Parts stores are being recalled due to fire and electrical-shock hazards, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The agency said the Strike Force air compressors, supplied by All-Power America in City of Industry, California, had motors that could overheat and ignite the protective cover, posing a fire hazard. The CPSC also said the cover might not prevent internal components from being touched, posing an electrical-shock hazard. No injuries have been reported, but there have been four reports of fires. The recall involves some of the air compressors sold at Advance Auto Parts stores nationwide and online from October 2006 through December 2007 for about $90. The CPSC says consumers should stop using the affected air compressors and return them to any Advance Auto Parts store for a full refund.

I help out a relative’s Air Compressor business (aircomparts air compressors) on occassion with some programming and they sell some compressors manufactured in China. It is a sad state of affairs because (1) they have to really stay on top of some of the Chinese companies to keep the quality high. They can’t assume ANYTHING about the quality. But they have found that if they insist on high quality.. they do get it.. but they have to stay vigellent. (2) If they were to not buy from China, they’d be undercut so badly by competitors that they’d potentially go out of business.
Sort of a catch-22. But the key is to stay on top and make no assumptions about products coming out of China. Generally, the Chinese companies will meet expectations.
While I’m generally somewhat libertarian in my political philosophy, this is an example of the Gov’t doing good work. I’m glad to see the CPSC taking care of business.
Good post!
