Siemens and Murray Circuit Breakers, Load Centers and Meter Combos
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Siemens is recalling circuit breakers, load centers, and meter combos manufactured between June and August 2010 because a spring clip inside can break during normal use. When the clip breaks, it loses the force needed to maintain a proper electrical connection, which can cause excessive heat, arcing, thermal damage, and damage to the panelboard's electrical insulation, potentially resulting in fire, property damage, or personal injury.
The recall affects Siemens and Murray branded 15 through 50 AMP single and double pole circuit breakers with date codes 0610 or 0710, load centers, and meter combos with manufacturing dates between June 23, 2010 and August 25, 2010. Specific catalog numbers are listed for each product type. According to the record, consumers should immediately contact Siemens for a free inspection by an electrician and a free replacement product.
