Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Greenlee Textron Inc. has recalled certain CM-700 and CM-750 electrical testing meters due to a defective grommet in the battery compartment. This grommet incompatibility can cause the meters to display inaccurate voltage and current readings, which creates a risk of electric shock or electrocution when testing equipment. The recalled meters are 8-inch dark green devices with bright yellow features and bear the model number and "Greenlee Test Instruments" on the front. Only meters with serial numbers ranging from 0203540001 through 0203540650 are affected by this recall.

According to the recall notice, consumers who own affected meters should stop using them immediately and contact Greenlee to obtain a replacement meter.

Hazard

An incompatible grommet, located in the battery compartment to protect internal wires, can cause the meter to provide inaccurate voltage and current readings. A meter that inaccurately indicates zero voltage or current creates the potential for electric shock or an electrocution hazard from the equipment being tested.

What should I do?

Consumers should stop using the recalled meters immediately and contact Greenlee to receive a replacement meter.
