What the notice says to do (the remedy, in its words)
“The valves in the recalled generators were installed incorrectly, preventing fuel vapors from venting properly from the gasoline tank, causing excessive pressure to build up. This pressure can cause fuel to discharge or the fuel cap to eject, posing a risk of serious injury from fire and burn hazards.”Cummins Recalls Portable Generators Due to Risk of Serious Injury from Fire and Burn Hazards, CPSC recall notice, 2026-11-12. The caption and the remedy steps are the record's own words.
The picture shows the kind of thing the record is about (a part, a product, a package), not the product itself; the ring marks it. Nothing in it is a claim beyond the record's own words below. The test dummy stands for the risk the notice names (“risk of serious injury”); it is not a record of something that happened.
