RESCUE RADIO PRODUCT ALERT: WEATHER RADIO RECALL

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Oregon
Scientific Inc., has announced a voluntary recall of approximately
66,000 weather radio receivers distributed by Oregon Scientific. This,
after it was been determined that these radios could fail to receive
National Weather Service alert signals in certain areas of the country.

Only four models are affected. They were sold at retail stores
nationwide, including some electronics and sporting goods stores,
online retailers and in catalogs from December 2005 through June 2007
for between $30 and $150. The CPSC says that in the event of severe
weather, this failure could put a consumer's life and property at risk.

For additional information on which models are covered in the recall,
contact Oregon Scientific at (800) 203-4921 Monday through Friday
between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pacific Coast Time . Or you can visit the
firm's website.
