Motion Sensing Wall Switches Recalled by HeathCo due to Electrical Shock Hazard
Hazard
When the switches are in the auto mode and the light is off, a small amount of leakage current passes through the electric circuit, including the socket. If consumers fail to disconnect the power at the circuit breaker and make contact with both terminals inside the socket while replacing the bulbs, there is a risk of an electric shock.
