PhotoLoad Systems International, of Quebec, Canada, is recalling about 100  LSI model GS025 wind speed sensors.

The sensor can fail to display an accurate data reading and cause crane operators and other users to incorrectly gauge wind conditions, posing a risk of injury from impact to the consumer. No incidents or injuries have been reported.

This recall involves LSI model GS025 wind speed sensors with serial numbers 100015 and 100412. Model and serial numbers can be found on the underside of the product’s base. The charcoal-grey colored sensor has “LSI” printed on one side and three windspeed cups on the top of the product. The 7-inch high sensors are often used by crane operators to gauge wind conditions when lifting and moving items.

The sesnsors, manufactured in Canada, were distributed by LSI distributors nationwide from March 2013, to June 2013, for about $400.

Consumers should stop using the wind speed sensors and contact LSI for instructions on returning the recall sensor for a replacement unit. LSI is contacting known customers directly.

Consumers may contact Load Systems International (LSI) customer service toll-free at (888) 819-4355 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday.
