Faulty Installation Instructions Prompt RadioShack Corp. Recall of Electrical Switches; Shock Hazard to Consumers

CPSC · 09180 · published 2009-04-02

CPSC campaign 09180

Hazard

The wiring diagram on the switch's package is incorrect. The Neutral and Line notation is reversed, posing a shock hazard to consumers.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop using the switch and check their installation to make sure the Line or Hot conductor is connected to the switch rather than following the original instructions on the back of the package. A corrected wiring diagram is shown in the picture. New wiring instructions are available at www.radioshack.com/recalls, or by contacting Radio Shack.
