Schneider Electric Recalls Square D Safety Switches Due to Electrical Shock Hazard

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

The hazard

The power can stay on when the safety switch handle is in the "OFF" position, posing an electrical shock or electrocution hazard to consumers.

What to do

Consumers should immediately inspect installed safety switches by moving the handle to the "OFF" position. If the power stays on when the handle is in the "OFF" position, contact Schneider Electric for a free replacement safety switch and free service support to install the replacement switch. If the safety switch is not installed and included in the recall, contact Schneider Electric for a free replacement safety switch.
