CPSC, Fluke Corp. Announce Recall of Digital Multimeters

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

The hazard

The recalled units can take longer than normal, up to 18 seconds, to display readings of AC voltages above 500 volts. Users can misinterpret the delayed reading to mean that high voltage is not present. If high voltage is present, users could be exposed to a risk of shock, electrocution, and thermal burns.

What to do

Consumers should stop using these testers immediately and contact Fluke for information on returning the recalled unit for a free repair.
