Why it was recalled

These roller pumps were assembled with pump shafts that may fail at the location of the thread where a locknut is installed. The failure is associated with a noise that is atypical of roller pump operation. The noise is caused when an unsecured shaft end contacts the rotating pulley of the roller pump. Prolonged use of a roller pump in this condition could lead to an eventual pump stop, resulting in the inability to create pump flow due to pulley loosening and drive belt damage.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
