Reported risk: An error in production has resulted on a potential safety issue where the meter may not withstand the energy of transient overvoltage in a Category III / IV environment. This could cause the meter to explode or generate an arc that could result in harm to the user. The affected product has been recalled in the United States and is certified to Canadian Standards by Canadian Standards Association ( CSA ), which means it can potentially be available in Canada as well. Neither Amprobe© nor Health Canada is aware of any reports of incidents or injuries to Canadians related to the use of the affected products.
