CPSC, Square D Company Announce Recall of Circuit Breakers

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

The hazard

The circuit breakers may have an incorrect torque load applied to the lug mounting screws. This could cause the clamping load between the lug and the circuit breaker terminals to be lower than specified, resulting in a high temperature condition. Products could overheat causing a fire hazard.

What to do

Contact Square D for a free repair. Repairs will consist of verifying proper screw torque and tightening all screws that do not meet the required torque specifications.
