Chris, et al:
Thank you for that Code update, Chris...Here's one for you: Some years back (when we held the Walgreen's sprinkler inspection account for NM), I attended a Walgreen's annual Corporate LP/FP meeting at their headquarters in Deerfield. "Recalls" were on the docket. I was told at that meeting that one of the contractors (present) for other States did NOT report recalls in one (or more) Walgreen's Stores in that State (Eastern U.S.). The "free" replacement period had passed. That sprinkler contractor ended up paying - out of pocket - for the replacements (at Walgreen's "urging" I am sure). Just food for thought?

CPSC has never issued a mandatory recall, they are all voluntary technically. That aside it wasn't voluntary any more once the IFC kicked in 2006. If you are under that or newer they are required to be replaced. If you find one today it must be replaced under IFC 901.9 ('06, '09, '12 (.10)) I'm trying to figure out if Tyco finished their work they were responsible for.

(and still hear) the term "voluntary" used before the (TYCO/CENTRAL GB) recall...And, yes, I suspect there are probably (still) at least a few million of those sprinklers "in service".

Or at least Tyco paying for replacements expired, the heads are still recalled. The question is have all submitted claims been replaced? I know there are a lot of them still out there that were never claimed under the recall.
