The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission and VSM Sewing have recalled more than 50,000 sewing machines. The government agency says that the sewing machines pose a potential fire hazard and states that it has received three reports of minor damage caused by electrical arcing.
The machines were sold in the U.S. for a 5 year period beginning in 1999 for between $5,500 and $6,000. The Husqvarna Viking Designer I sewing and embroidering machines have white plastic exterior and contain the words “Husqvarna Viking” and “Designer I.” The recall involves units with serial number, which are located on the bottom of the machine, in the following ranges:
Starts with 0, ends with 0 or 6
