Intermatic Recalls In-Wall Timers Due to Shock Hazard
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The hazard
When consumers trying to replace the timer's battery place a metal object through the battery tray slot, the object can reach internal metal contacts, posing a shock hazard to consumers.
What to do
Consumers should not attempt to change the in-wall timer's battery until they receive the repair kit. Consumers should contact Intermatic to obtain a free repair kit with installation instructions.
