Reported risk: The drop-in floor boxes are used to provide an extra electrical outlet in the floor. They were sold under the Carlon® brand name and have a brass finish cover approximately 3 1/2 inches in diameter. "Carlon" is stamped into the plastic above the receptacle and the model number is located to the left of the receptacle. Model numbers E971FBDI and E971FBDIB are included in this recall. Hazards: The recalled floor boxes are wired incorrectly, resulting in reverse polarity. This poses a shock or electrocution hazard to consumers.
