Extech Instruments Recalls Digital Clamp and Multimeters due to Electrocution Hazard
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The hazard
When the battery runs low, the meters can fail to give an accurate voltage reading, resulting in the operator falsely believing the electrical power is off or low. This poses an electrocution hazard.
What to do
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled digital clamp meters and multimeters and contact Extech for a free replacement meter.
