Hatton Electric State Lic. Oh.EL24740/ Ky. ME63928

More Info

The recalled circuit breakers have a spring clip that can break during normal use, leading to a loss of force to maintain a proper electrical connection in the panelboard. This can lead to excessive temperature, arcing or thermal damage at the connection point, and damage to the panelboard’s electrical insulation and can result in a fire, property damage, or personal injury. Incidents/Injuries: Siemens has received one report of a circuit breaker spring clip that broke during installation. No injuries have been reported. Description: This recall involves Siemens and Murray 15 through 50 AMP single and double pole circuit breakers, load centers (circuit breakers that come with an electrical panel), and meter combos (contain a load center and a meter socket). “Siemens” or “Murray,” date codes 0610 or 0710 and the catalog number are printed on a label on the side of the circuit breakers. Date codes between June 2010 through August 2010 are stamped on the inside of the metal box of the load centers and meter combos. The catalog number for the load centers and meter combos is printed on a label inside the metal box door and on the packaging.

General Info

Please note the following. Concerning Licensed Electricians. The state of Ohio requires that a licensed electrician "must" place their license number on all advertisments. Property Owners Please read. Information is from The CPSC. PREFACE to the May 25, 2007 update This document has been revised at this time for two major reasons. First, in a class-action lawsuit against PPE/Reliance in New Jersey, the Court found that Federal Pacific Electric Co. (PPE) committed fraud by representing that their FPE Stab-LolC!' circuit breakers met the applicable CULl standard test requiremcnts when in fact they did not. The Court's fmding of fraud, publishcd in 2005, indicates that FPE cheatcd on the tests that were required to obtain and maintain UL listings. The company improperly applied UL labels to circuit breakers that could not and did not meet the UL requirements. FPE covered up the defective perfonnance of the circuit breakers by a long-standing practice of fraudulent testing. The Court's finding helps resolve the question as to how the defective breakers got into the marketplace and into homes. Secondly, the recent testing ofPPE Stab-Lo~circuitbreakers now includes breakers from 28 homes across the Country. The number of breakers tested is about double the number included in the tabulation of the original report. The results fumly support -to an even higher level of statistical certainty -the conclusion that virtually every PPE Stab-LokX> panel installed in homes today contains circuit breakers that are seriously defective http://www.cpsc.gov/LIBRARY/FOIA/meetings/mtg08/alumwire3_18.pdfSiemens Siemens Recalls Circuit Breakers Due to Fire Hazard WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product.
