Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Klein Tools has recalled digital clamp meters in models CL110, CL210, CL310, and CL110KIT with specific date codes from August 2015 through March 2016. These meters, which are black with a backlit LCD display, orange trigger, and orange clamp mechanism, are designed to detect electrical current in wiring and measure voltage up to 600 volts and alternating current up to 400 amps. The meters can fail to provide accurate voltage readings, potentially causing operators to incorrectly believe electrical power is off when it is actually still on.
This malfunction creates serious risks of electrical shock, electrocution, and burn injuries. According to the recall notice, affected consumers should immediately stop using the recalled meters and contact Klein Tools to obtain postage-paid return labels. The meters will be replaced free of charge.
