A recall was issued by SIMU on the DMI6 Hz motors, which were sold with their awnings and shutters. The motor is silver and black, with the model name and “Simu” printed on the side of the motor. The defect is with the motor’s power cable, which can disconnect while the awning or shutter is opened or closed manually. This is an electrocution hazard, and as a result, the manufacturer is recalling around 13,800 motors.
Affected consumers are advised to stop using the product if their shutters or awnings are not connected to a GFCI circuit breaker or outlet. They should also contact SIMU directly to arrange for a free inspection and repair.
Unfortunately, a free repair isn’t going to compensate you if you are dealing with health complications from an electric shock accident. If you’ve suffered bodily harm as a result of this product, you may be entitled to monetary damages, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Contact our office to speak with an accident injury lawyer at your earliest convenience.
The complications from being electrocuted depends on the voltage rate, the type of current, how that current travels through your body, your health at the time of the incident, and how quickly you receive medical treatment. Possible injuries from an electric shock include burns, though you may not have any visible injuries. However, these incidents can cause cardiac arrest, breathing problems, seizures, and other serious health issues, even from a small amount of electricity.
