CPSC, Greenlee Textron Inc. Announce Recall of Electrical Testing Meters
What was recalled
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. CM-700 and CM-750 meters outside the above serial number range are not included in this recall.
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.
Injuries
CPSC and Greenlee have not received any reports of injuries or property damage. This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injuries.
Made in
Taiwan
Where it was sold
- 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.
