IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

Brookdale Product Recall


Following our "Suspend Use" advisory of March 8, 2006, and in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Brookdale International Systems Inc. voluntarily recalled all EVAC-U8™ and EVAC+™ emergency escape smoke hoods currently in the marketplace worldwide that had not reached their expiration date. These products were purchased to provide respiratory protection in a structural smoke/fire emergency.

Tests confirmed that use of these products in a smoke or fire emergency may expose the user to harmful carbon monoxide, which could seriously compromise their ability to escape a fire threat. Therefore, these products SHOULD NOT BE USED. The company is not aware of any incidents where a user of these products was exposed to harmful levels of carbon monoxide.

The following SCBA emergency escape respirators were also voluntarily recalled.

Brookdale sincerely regrets any inconvenience created by these recalls.

Brookdale does not anticipate having replacement products available.

Yours truly,

Derrick Russell
President, Brookdale International Systems Inc.
