of circulating pumps used in heating systems over fears they may pose a risk of electrocution to tradespeople.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall b-it-article-body__text--left\">The warning from the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) is on top of an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/ireland\/2025\/10\/06\/more-than-100000-heat-pumps-recalled-over-electrocution-fears\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/ireland\/2025\/10\/06\/more-than-100000-heat-pumps-recalled-over-electrocution-fears\/\">urgent product recall earlier this month<\/a> in connection with 114,000 Tucson circulating pumps.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">The mains cable of the pumps caught up in the initial recall can be connected in reverse, allowing the live pin to connect to the earth pin, which results in a serious risk of electrocution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">The CCPC said that after details were published it received reports of other circulating pumps that may have the same or similar electrical coupling as the one on affected Tucson pumps and may present the same risk of electrocution. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">\u201cIn line with the precautionary principle and to avoid potential harm, the CCPC is carrying out this early intervention by making all traders and tradespeople aware of this potential risk,\u201d the watchdog said in a statement. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">The warning relates to the following circulating pumps:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"c-unordered-list paywall\">\n<li class=\"c-list-item paywall\">AquaPro, Model: RS 25\/6 EAA<\/li>\n<li class=\"c-list-item paywall\">Katsu Tools, Model: Star 25\/<\/li>\n<li class=\"c-list-item paywall\">Embrass

class=\"c-list-item paywall\">Intertrade, Model: INTERTRADE 6 metre head circulation pump (Type R S25\/6EAQ)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">The CCPC has contacted the companies that produce these pumps to bring the reports to their attention. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">Any company that becomes aware of a potential safety risk with their product is legally obligated to take immediate action. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">The CCPC is advising tradespeople to exercise caution when working on heating systems that use these circulating pumps. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">Consumers are advised to do nothing at this stage, while investigations are ongoing to establish if the products meet product safety requirements. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">\u201cAs investigations are ongoing no further information can be provided at this time,\u201d the CCPC said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A fresh
