3M Scott PAPR User Safety Notice

3M Scott PAPR User Safety Notice

3M Scott Fire & Safety issued a user safety notice for the C420 Powered Air-Purifying Respirator (PAPR) Blowers. The manufacturer of the C420 blower unit identified a population of production with the potential for internal impeller disengagement from the blower motor. In such circumstances the PAPR respirators will still maintain user protection and continue to function unpowered; however, the disengagement may result in loss of powered air. Read the User Safety Notice for more information about repair and service.
