CPSC, Fluke Corp. Announce Second Recall of Electrical Testers
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The hazard
The batteries in the tester could fail to maintain proper contact due to corrosion within the battery compartment, causing the device to lose power. Consumers testing electrical sources could fail to be warned of the presence of live current if the tester is not powered, posing a risk of shock, electrocution, and thermal burns.
What to do
Consumers should stop using these voltage and continuity testers immediately, and contact Fluke to obtain a free repair kit or arrange to send your unit to Fluke for repair.
