March 6, 2018 from the CPSC in Conjunction With Healthy Canadians: :
InSinkErator Single Outlet SinkTop Switches have been recalled because water can get into the power module, posing a fire hazard.
This recall involves InSinkErator Single Outlet SinkTop Switches. The air activated switch mounts to the sink or countertop and is an alternative to the traditional wall switch for a garbage disposal. The model numbers are 76703, STS-SOSN, 78251 and 74300, and can be found on the back of the power module. InSinkErator is written on the front of the power module. The switches were sold with a chrome, white, or satin nickel button/bezel as an accessory for garbage disposals. Garbage disposals activated by a wall switch are not affected by this recall.
The switches were sold between 2005 and October 2017 at home improvement stores, online websites and through plumbing contractors and outlets for between about $50 and $90.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled switches and contact InSinkErator for a free SinkTop switch replacement.
