Test Wire Recall

May 3, 2004 - 9:42PM
Faulty test wires are being recalled because they could lead to an electrocution.
The Fluke Corporation is recalling 110,000 thousand test wires.
They could cause voltage meters to give false readings that wires aren't carrying an electrical current.
That malfunction could lead to shock or electrocution.
The recalled components are red and black and have the Fluke logo on the connector ends.
If you have one, stop using it and call 1-888-401-9940 for a free replacement.

Here's a link to identify the probes affected, the contact numbers only apply in Canada though - other countries just follow through the main fluke.com page.
