Is my product affected?

Fluke Digital Clamp Meters

  • Brand Fluke Corp., of Everett, Wash.

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

What happened

Fluke is recalling Digital Clamp Meters due to a voltage reading failure that can cause the meters to give inaccurate readings, leading operators to incorrectly believe electrical power is off when it is actually on. This creates a serious risk of electric shock, electrocution, or thermal burn. The affected models are the 333, 334, 335, 336, and 337 with specific serial number ranges listed in the recall; however, serial numbers beginning with "S" or followed by "R" are excluded from the recall. These yellow, red, and black handheld meters measure voltage and amperage up to 600 volts and 1000 amps.

Consumers who own one of the recalled meters should immediately stop using it and contact Fluke for a free replacement clamp meter. The model number can be found on the front of the unit and the serial number on the back to verify whether a specific meter is affected.
