Objet NOTICE OF VOLUNTARY RECALL PROGRAM FOR WEATHER ALERT RADIOS
Dear Valued Customer:
Thank you for being a valued customer of Oregon Scientific. Records indicate that you may have purchased an Oregon Scientific Weather Alert Radio. We have learned of a bug in the software that prevents certain radios that were distributed between December 2005 and June 2007 from receiving the National Weather Service alert signals in a limited number of counties located in certain states in the U.S. If you own one of the affected radios and are located in or use your radio in one of the affected states, you should stop using your radio and contact Oregon Scientific to receive instructions concerning how to return the radio for a replacement.
The model numbers for the four affected radios are:
? WR103NX
? WR108
? WRB308
? WRB308J
Please note that the WR103, WR102 and WR196T models are not affected.
The following states have at least some counties affected:
Alabama Iowa Nebraska South Dakota
Arkansas Kansas New Jersey Tennessee
California Kentucky New York Texas
Colorado Louisiana North Carolina Virginia
District of Columbia Maryland North Dakota Washington
Florida Michigan Ohio West Virginia
Georgia Minnesota Oklahoma Wisconsin
Idaho Mississippi Pennsylvania
Illinois Missouri Puerto Rico
Indiana Montana South Carolina
The following states have no counties affected, and the four models will work as designed throughout these states:
Alaska Hawaii New Hampshire Utah
Arizona Maine New Mexico Vermont
Connecticut Massachusetts Oregon Wyoming
Delaware Nevada Rhode Island
We already have identified and fixed the software bug and are preparing to ship replacement radios directly to our customers. If you contact Oregon Scientific toll-free by telephone or through our web-site, we will provide you with further details regarding our product exchange program.
