Klein Tools is recalling approximately 1,690,000 Non-Contact Voltage Testers (Model NCVT-1) sold individually and in various tool kits. These testers feature a yellow body with a tinted gray tip and were sold nationwide at Home Depot and electrical wholesalers between January 2020 and March 2021. The recall was issued because the on/off button can remain depressed, causing the tool to fail to detect live voltage and potentially leading to electrical shock.
The power button can malfunction and remain depressed, preventing the tester from properly detecting live electrical sources. Klein Tools has received two reports of malfunctions, including one incident resulting in a shock injury.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled non-contact voltage testers and contact Klein Tools for instructions on receiving a free replacement tool.
