Modular Test Leads used for Electrical Testing Multimeters
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Fluke Corp. is recalling modular test leads (Models TL221, TL222, and TL224) used to connect probes to handheld digital multimeters for electrical testing. These red and black leads can produce inaccurate multimeter readings, creating a serious risk of electric shock or electrocution if a user touches live wires that the meter incorrectly indicates have no electrical current. The recalled leads were sold both individually and bundled with various Fluke multimeters and accessory kits.
The recalled test leads have the Fluke logo on the connector ends and do not have permanently attached probes. Consumers can identify the model number on the product packaging or documentation rather than on the leads themselves. Test leads with a SureGrip™ symbol (either on a tag around the silicon wire or molded onto the connector end) are not part of this recall. According to the record, affected consumers should stop using the recalled test leads immediately and contact Fluke for information about obtaining free replacement components.
