Non-contact voltage detectors
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Southwire has recalled non-contact voltage detectors with model numbers 40110N and 40120N due to a defect that can cause them to display a false "no voltage" reading when testing live electrical wires. This malfunction poses serious risks of electric shock, electrocution, and burn injuries to users. The affected detectors are cylindrical, approximately six inches long and two inches in circumference, colored brownish gold with a black center insert, and feature red LED lights. Model 40110N detects voltage from 100 to 1,000 VAC, while model 40120N detects voltage from 24 to 1,000 VAC.
Consumers who own either of these recalled models should immediately stop using them. According to the recall notice, affected consumers should contact Southwire for instructions on returning their voltage detectors and will receive a free replacement unit.
