Belkin SurgeMaster Recalled
Belkin International Inc., of Compton, Calif. has issued a voluntary recall of its SurgeMaster Surge Protectors sold between September 2003 and December 2007. These surge protectors were recently recalled due to the fact that the molding of the plastic rotating plug could become cracked or detached, leading to a possible shock hazard. While no complaints, including reports of injuries, about the plug have been received from consumers, Belkin still feels the product should be recalled to prevent any potential damage.
SurgeMasters with the model number F9G930-10, F9G930v10, F9G930-10-W and F9G930-10-SN (all manufactured in 2003) are part of this recall. Models F9G930-10-GRY and F9G930fc10G-CL, which are grey in color, are not part of the recall. To locate the model number of the surge protector, look on the underside of the unit.
Approximately 68,700 of these surge protectors have been sold by both independent distributions throughout the nation as well as online at http://www.belkin.com. The cost of the items sold was approximately $50.
If you have one of these recalled SurgeMasters, please contact Belkin at 1-800-952-1465 between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PST Monday through Friday or visit the company’s web site at http://www.belkin.com/recall.
