The item number and UPC numbers can be found on the product hang tag attached to the staff at time of purchase. Affected wading staffs are visibly identifiable by a silver cable connector.”
The wading staffs were sold at authorized dealers across the U.S. from March 2010 through June 2010, for about $120.
