The product, in the report: QuickStrap 50 Water Heater Restraints manufactured by Hubbard Enterprises
I bought a QuickStrap 50 Water Heater Restraints manufactured by Hubbard Enterprises from Lowe’s on 4/2/15. I checked the installation instructions which showed how to put the straps on the front of a water heater and attach the straps to wall studs behind the heater. I noted that those straps would prevent forward movement of a heater but would not stop backward movement of a heater unless the heater was in contact with a surface such as a wall behind the heater. I called customer support and was told that the consumer would have to build a spacer between the studs and the heater. When I asked why that information was not in the instructions I was told they could not put all that information in the instructions. Without that information a consumer would not know that in an emergency situation such as an earthquake, tornado or hurricane their hot water heater could be subject to backward motion that could result in property damage by water or fire and human harm or death. The lack of instructions concerning a required support for the back of a heater is misleading of the safety claims of the product and safety risk to consumers.
