TOA Electronics Recalls SC Series Paging Horn Loudspeaker
TOA
Electronics Inc., a manufacturer of commercial audio and security products,
recently recalled all its SC Series
Paging Horn Loudspeaker models.
These models had experienced a known production defect, which is that the metal
part of the speaker body may crack at position where the mounting bracket is
attached due to excess zinc content in the metal. This results in an inferior ability
to withstand exposure to moist air and salt, especially when located at shore
and indoor pool environments. This defect may cause them to fall, possibly
causing injury or damage to property. It should be noted however, that the
attached speaker wire and/or a safety cable attached between the speaker and
the mounting surface by the installer may help prevent the speaker from falling
in most cases.
The following models have been
recalled:
- Model SC-610T with a manufacture date between 6/2008-11/2008 (date
codes- 08F through 08K and with Serial # range)
- Model SC-615 with a manufacture date between 2/2008-11/2008 (date
codes- 08B through 08K and with Serial # range)
- Model SC-630 with a manufacture date between 9/2008-11/2008 (date
codes-08I though 08K and with Serial # range)
- Model SC-630T with a manufacture date between 6/2008-11/2008 (date
codes- 08F through 08K and with Serial # range)
Installers who have used these
models are instructed to contact their customer and forward the customer’s name,
address, telephone, e-mail and contact name along with the date of
installation, number and model of speakers installed in their facility to the
TOA regional sales manger. If the installers provide un-installation and
reinstallation services, then these speakers can be returned to TOA for new
replacement unit(s) exchange.
