Full notice follows for those who want the whole scoop:
Greetings from Amazon.com.
We have recently learned that DeVilbiss Air Power Company, in
cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is

compressors. It has been determined that the pressure washers and air
compressors have pneumatic tires with plastic hubs that can burst,
posing a laceration or fracture hazard to consumers.
Our records indicate that you have purchased the pressure washer or
air compressor through the Amazon.com website and are therefore
affected by this recall.
Consumers should stop using these products immediately and contact
DeVilbiss to obtain the location of the nearest service center to
receive a free replacement of the tires. For additional information,
contact DeVilbiss toll-free at (866) 323-9867 between 8 a.m. and 5
p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the company's website at
