Klein Tools Clamp Meter Recall

Klein Tools Clamp Meter Recall

June 27, 2016

Klein Tools has issued a voluntary product recall on four products in its test and measurement line due to a potential safety hazard.

A fastener may work itself loose over time, potentially leading to a false reading of zero voltage on energized systems. As a result, users may incorrectly believe the electrical power is off. This could pose shock, electrocution and burn hazards.

The recall involves The CL110, CL210 and CL310 and CL110KIT Digital Clamp Meters with these date codes:

  • 0815U-A1
  • 1015U-A1
  • 1115U-A1
  • 1215U-A1
  • 0116U-A1
  • 0216U-A1
  • 0316U-A1

This issue was identified during normal product testing procedures and a plan was immediately put in place to issue the recall, stop shipments and offer free replacements.

Accessories in the CL110KIT, specifically the 10x Line Splitter, RT210 GFCI Receptacle Tester, test leads, batteries and carrying case are NOT being recalled, should not be sent back for replacement and should be retained by customer.

Klein Tools identified this issue during normal product testing procedures, and has put a response plan in place to stop shipments and offer free replacements.
