Oxmoor House voluntarily recalled nearly 1,000,000 home improvement books purchased at home improvement stores and bookstores nationwide between January 1975 and December 2009. The recall was prompted due to faulty wiring diagrams and technical instructions which could possibly lead to shock or fire hazards.
