Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Recalled product: Single Meter Sockets Recalled by Milbank Manufacturing Due to Fire and Electrocution Hazards

The hazard

A short may occur while in use due to an incorrect bridge installed in the product, to which the meter clips are attached. If the manufacturing defect exists, all metal parts of the meter could create a shock or burns can occur if the cover is off and the meter socket is energized.

What to do

Consumers should stop using the recalled product immediately and contact the electrical supply contractor who installed the sockets. Contractors will contact Milbank Manufacturing for a replacement or reimbursement. Milbank will contact all distributors and stores where the recalled product was sold.
