Why the product is recalled
The green light on the tip of the tool remains on when the on/off button is depressed, indicating the tool is “ready to detect voltage,” when it is not.
What the hazards are to consumers
If a user believes the tool is ready to detect voltage when it is not, they may not get an accurate voltage reading, increasing the risk of electric shock.
What consumers should do
Check the date code of your tester to see if it is affected. If you have an affected tester, immediately stop using the tester and contact Klein Tools Australia to arrange for a replacement or return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund.
