CPSC, Greenlee Textron Inc. Announce Recall of Electrical Testing Meters
Hazard
An incompatible grommet, located in the battery compartment to protect internal wires, can cause the meter to provide inaccurate voltage and current readings. A meter that inaccurately indicates zero voltage or current creates the potential for electric shock or an electrocution hazard from the equipment being tested.
