HeathCo recalls motion sensing wall switches with model numbers SL-6106-IV, SL-6106-WH, etc. due to electric shock hazard when replacing bulbs without turning off power.
When the switches are in the auto mode and the light is off, a small amount of leakage current passes through the electric circuit, including the socket. If consumers fail to disconnect the power at the circuit breaker and make contact with both terminals inside the socket while replacing the bulbs, there is a risk of an electric shock.
