[Ansteorra] Recall on Air Pumps

[Rixende de Rouen]

Greetings All!

I am on the recall notice list from the Government, and wanted to forward on
this recall for an air pump. Seeing as many of us use these for inflating
our mattresses at events, please make sure that yours is not part of this
recall.

In Service,

Rixende
