Reported risk: The recall includes General Duty 30- and 60-ampere, 240-volt, 1-phase and 3-phase NEMA 3R safety switches. The switches are typically used to control the flow of electricity to outdoor motorized units that are hardwired to a household or business electrical system such as outdoor air conditioning and heating (HVAC) equipment. The switches contain "ON" and "OFF" positions. The "OFF" position is designed to cut the flow of electricity to an outdoor motorized unit to protect the person who is servicing the unit. The recalled switches have the following date codes and catalog number printed on bottom of the wiring label inside the front cover or on bottom of the package label. Date Codes 06371 through 06446 Catalog Numbers D211NRB D211NRBBP D211NRBCP D221NRB D221NRBCP D321NRB D321NRBCP DU221RB DU222RB DU321RB DU322RB Hazards: The safety switch can continue to supply electricity even after being placed in the "OFF" position. This poses the risk of an electric shock or electrocution hazard to consumers.
