Square D Recalls Safety Switches Due to Shock or Electrocution Hazard

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

The hazard

The safety switch can continue to supply electricity even after being placed in the "OFF" position. This poses the risk of an electric shock or electrocution hazard to consumers.

What to do

Consumers should return the uninstalled safety switches to the retailer or distributor where purchased for a free replacement unit. Installed safety switches will be replaced free of charge by contacting the firm.
