Sweep+Vac by Swiffer Vacuum Cleaner Recalled for Fire Hazard
Hazard
In some cases, when the vacuum cleaner is left in the "on" position, the rotor can lock up and cause the unit to overheat. This poses a smoke and fire hazard.

To disconnect the vacuum cleaner, press the small green button on the pole, about 12 inches below the handle, then pull the handle straight out.
