Reason for Recall
When the battery runs low, the meters can fail to give an accurate voltage reading, resulting in the operator falsely believing the electrical power is off or low. This poses an electrocution hazard.
Action Taken
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled digital clamp meters and multimeters and contact Extech for a free replacement meter.
