Siemens Recalls Circuit Breakers Due to Fire Hazard

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

Recalled product: Siemens Recalls Circuit Breakers Due to Fire Hazard

The hazard

The recalled circuit breakers have a spring clip that can break during normal use, leading to a loss of force to maintain a proper electrical connection in the panelboard. This can lead to excessive temperature, arcing or thermal damage at the connection point, and damage to the panelboard's electrical insulation and can result in a fire, property damage, or personal injury.

What to do

Consumers should immediately contact Siemens for a free inspection by an electrician and a free replacement product.
