Hurt, care not known Made Aug 21, 2014, sent to the company Aug 29, 2014, published by CPSC Sep 22, 2014
The product, in the report: Home Depot “Bucket Head” wet/dry vacuum. A power head vacuum designed to fit onto a plastic 5 gallon bucket.
I was using the Home Depot Bucket Head vacuum normally to vacuum up water. The on/off switch repeated gave me a strong electric shock when I tried to turn it off. I ended up turning it off with my foot. This happened 5 or 6 times with wet vac and two times with dry vac. Home Depot refused to exchange the product.
