Fluke recalls electricity tester

EVERETT(AP) -- Everett-based Fluke Corp. has recalled about 110,000 electricity-testing products that pose a serious risk of shock or electrocution to consumers, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Monday.

The recalled modular test leads are used to connect probes to handheld digital multimeters when testing for the presence and amount of voltage in electrical circuitry.

The leads can result in incorrect voltage readings, which could cause consumers to be shocked or electrocuted if they touch live wires that the meter has read as having no electrical current, the commission said.
