Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
GE is recalling certain Midwest brand 30A, 125V AC, 3-wire plug-in receptacles used in recreational vehicle power outlets and pedestals branded Midwest, GE, or Heritage. The affected receptacles were produced between May 21, 2012, and July 22, 2012, and may have been sold as replacement parts or as part of complete outlets or pedestals, typically installed at campgrounds or recreational vehicle parks but sometimes in private residences. The receptacles may have an ineffective ground clip that results in an incomplete electrical ground connection, which could cause users to receive an electrical shock if they touch an affected plug.
GE will notify owners and replace the affected receptacles free of charge. Retailers were notified by mail on October 31, 2012. Owners should contact GE at 1-866-855-8504 for replacement.
