Reason for Recall

Carbon dioxide (CO2) pressure sensors inside these products can crack and leak or burst causing the release of CO2. This could cause cracks with sharp edges that could cut a consumer's hand, or direct CO2 discharge could cause a frostbite-like burn to a consumer's hand.

Remedy

Dragonfly: Consumers should stop using the recalled product immediately and contact Frontgate to receive a replacement unit. Night Watch: Professional pest control operators who purchased NightWatch from Residex or Forshaw Distribution should take the units out of service immediately and return them to the distributor center for replacement.
