Ground fault circuit interrupters manufactured by Huizhou Faith Electric Manufacture under the brand name “Smart Electrician” may fail to properly break the circuit in a fault.

The safety concerns involve models GLX-15ATR (cETLus certification mark with Control Number 4008942) and GLX-20ATR: cETLus certification mark with Control Number 4008942). Both were manufactured before February 2018.

The products require a test and reset to operate as intended. Distributors and retailers with on hand inventories manufactured before February 2018 should discontinue sales and return all inventories to their suppliers.
