Reported risk: When the battery runs low, the meters can fail to give an accurate voltage reading, resulting in the operator falsely believing the electrical power is off or low. This poses a shock hazard. In the United States, Extech received one report of a meter displaying an incorrect voltage reading. No injuries have been reported. Health Canada has not received any reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of these products.
