Fluke is recalling VoltAlert voltage testers that may fail to detect live voltage, risking electrical shock or burns. Stop using immediately and get a free replacement.
The testers can fail to give an indication of live voltage, resulting in the operator falsely believing the electrical power is off, posing a risk of serious injury or death from electrical shock or thermal burns.
Fluke is recalling its VoltAlert voltage testers because they can fail to show live voltage, causing users to think power is off and risking serious injury or death from shock or burns. This affects testers sold with specific model numbers.
The testers might not indicate live voltage, so users could think electrical circuits are safe when they're actually live. This can cause severe shock or burns from touching live parts.
Electricians, technicians, and DIYers who use these testers for electrical work are most at risk. Anyone using the recalled model numbers could face injury if they mistakenly believe power is off.
Look for the Fluke 1AC-A1-I VoltAlert model with a yellow, white, and gray body. The product marking shows 'FLUKE-1AC-I' on the front.
Immediately stop using the recalled Fluke VoltAlert voltage tester to avoid risk of shock or burns.
