Extech is recalling approximately 1,700 digital clamp meters, including models EX650, EX655, MA160, MA61, and MA63. These devices can fail to provide an accurate voltage reading, which may lead a user to incorrectly believe electrical power is off when it is actually live. Extech has received two reports of the meters displaying incorrect readings, though no injuries have been reported. Consumers should stop using the recalled meters immediately and contact Extech for a free replacement.
The meters can provide a false reading of low or zero voltage, posing a severe electrocution hazard to operators who may unknowingly work on live electrical circuits.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled digital clamp meters and contact Extech for a free replacement meter.
