The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of the Dirt Devil Vacuum Power Brush Attachment Tools.

The Commission says consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.

There are about 987,000 units.

They are manufactured by TTI Floor Care North America, of Glenwillow, Ohio.

Plastic pieces inside the vacuum tool can break apart and be ejected, posing a laceration hazard to consumers.

TTI Floor Care has received 140 reports of incidents involving the recalled vacuum tool, including 12 reports of injuries. Those consumers reported minor eye or skin injuries and one thumb injury.

The recalled Dirt Devil Turbo Tool/Power Brush attachment was sold as an accessory with the following Dirt Devil vacuum models.

Only vacuum tool accessories with date codes J7060 through J7365 and have a C-clip connector are included in this recall.

The date code is located on the underside of the vacuum accessory.

The Turbo Tool/Power Brush tools are about 6 ½ inches long by about 5 inches wide and come in a variety of colors that match the color of the vacuum.

The housing of the tool was made in clear, red, green, or light blue with clear, light blue, dark blue, red, purple, or black turbine fans with matching brush rolls.

The vacuums are sold at mass merchandisers, home improvement stores and other retail stores nationwide from April 2007 through April 2008 for between $60 and $170 for the vacuum cleaner, including accessory tools.
