What’s wrong with it?
Warning triangles that do not properly reflect light may fail to warn others that a vehicle is parked, increasing the risk of a crash.
Imperial Supplies, LLC, a division of W.W.
Grainger, Inc., is recalling certain triangle warning signs manufactured by Torch.
Test reports indicate that the triangle warning signs, labeled C&J, may reflect an inadequate amount of light.
As such, these triangle warning kits fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 125, “Warning devices.”
