CPSC, Greenlee Textron Inc. Announce Recall of Electrical Testing Meters
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Greenlee Textron, Inc. (Greenlee), of Rockford, Ill.,
is voluntarily recalling about 650 electrical testing meters. The meters
are used to measure voltage and current of electric-powered equipment.
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.
CPSC and Greenlee have not received any reports of injuries or
property damage. This recall is being conducted to prevent the
possibility of injuries.
This recall involves certain CM-700 and CM-750 electrical meters.
The 8-inch meters are dark green with bright yellow features. The model
number and the words "Greenlee Test Instruments" are printed across the
front of the meter. A silver plate on the back of the meter displays the
serial number (S/N). Serial numbers included in the recall range from
0203540001 through 0203540650. The electrical meters were made in
Taiwan.
Home Depot (model CM-750 only) and electrical supply stores sold
the meters nationwide during April 2002. The CM-700 model sold for about
$100 and the CM-750 for about $140.
Consumers should stop using the recalled meters immediately and
contact Greenlee to receive a replacement meter. For more information,
consumers can contact Greenlee toll-free at (800) 435-0786 between 8
a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday.
CM-700 and CM-750 meters outside the above serial number range are
not included in this recall.
