CPSC, Fluke Corp. Announce Recall of Electrical Testing Components
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The hazard
The leads, which are used to connect probes to handheld digital multimeters when testing for the presence and amount of voltage present in electrical circuitry, can result in incorrect multimeter readings. This poses a serious shock or electrocution hazard, if the consumer touches live wires that the meter has read as having no electrical current.
What to do
Consumers should stop using the recalled modular test leads immediately and contact Fluke for information on getting free replacement components.
