Basler Electric is recalling about 11,900 Class 2 electric transformers because a faulty circuit breaker can fail to trip when necessary. These transformers were sold to manufacturers and distributors between September 2014 and November 2014 for use in various end-products. No incidents or injuries have been reported, but consumers are advised not to attempt to service or replace these units themselves due to the risk of electrical shock.
The internal Tyco circuit breaker can fail to disconnect power during an electrical fault, which poses a significant risk of fire and electrical shock. Because these are high-voltage components, a failure in the breaker could lead to overheating or electrified surfaces.
Manufacturers and distributors should immediately stop distributing the recalled transformers and contact Basler to receive free replacement transformers. Due to the risk of shock, consumers should not attempt to open or replace the recalled transformers on their own but should contact the manufacturer of their product for further instructions. Basler has notified manufacturers and distributors about the recall directly.
