Pass & Seymour is recalling about 685,000 commercial-grade tamper-resistant duplex electrical receptacles due to a manufacturing defect that can cause the plug blades to overheat. This defect may lead users to force a plug into the outlet incorrectly, creating a risk of serious burns. These ivory, white, grey, and black outlets were sold at electrical equipment suppliers and other stores nationwide from October 2019 through February 2020 for between $3 and $10. Consumers can receive a free replacement, a full refund, or a credit by contacting the manufacturer.
A manufacturing error within the internal mechanisms of the receptacle can cause a plug to be inserted incorrectly or with excessive force, leading to overheating of the plug blades and posing a burn hazard. No injuries have been reported to date.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled receptacles and contact the firm for a free replacement, a full refund or a refund in the form of a credit.
