Leviton Manufacturing is recalling approximately 98,000 electrical connection devices, including 50-ampere non-NEMA connectors, plugs, receptacles, and inlet attachments. These devices were sold at electrical distributors and online at Amazon.com between May 2019 and January 2020. The recall was initiated because the terminal markings on the devices may be mislabeled, which can lead to incorrect wiring and result in a severe electrical shock or equipment damage. One consumer has already reported receiving an electrical shock, and there have been three reports of property damage to connected equipment.
The internal terminal markings used to guide wiring are incorrect, which can cause live electrical current to be connected to the wrong parts of the device or equipment. This defect creates a direct risk of electrical shock to anyone touching the device or connected machinery and has already caused one reported injury and three instances of equipment damage.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled devices, disconnect power to them and contact Leviton to arrange for a free replacement device.
