This product may be defective and likely to fail. In an article appearing in The Washington Post of today and the subject of a TV segment on NBC's "Dateline" last evening, The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced action this week against Central Sprinkler Corp., seeking a recall of the company's Omega fire sprinklers. The commission staff filed an administrative law complaint alleging the sprinklers were defective and likely to fail. The complaint cited six fires in which Omega sprinklers reportedly failed in support of a U.S. nationwide recall of 10 million Omega sprinkler heads manufactured since 1982. The company said, "The Omega works. It has been successfully controlling fires for 15 years years." Central said it already had spent more than $ 5 million in a voluntary remediation program since it learned of concerns about sprinkler activation in early 1996. "The above is quoted from the Washington Post article of 7 March 1998." ____________________________________________________________________ SUGGESTED ACTION: You should notify the proper person - responsible for fire protection in your institution to see if you have any Omega sprinkler heads in your facility. If your institution has Omega sprinkler heads, you should work with your local fire dept and/or a local fire protection engineer in order to take the proper steps suggested by these fire protection experts.
