U.S. markets recover from steep losses
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of Miami Breaker Square D circuit breakers due to a fire hazard.
About 43,600 Square D circuit breakers from Miami Breaker of Miami were distributed through wholesalers from March 2005 through July 2006 for about $3.50 for a single pole breaker and about $8.50 for a double pole breaker, the commission said.
The breakers labeled "Square D" or "SQD" have been deemed counterfeit products that can fail to trip when an overload of power occurs, posing a fire risk.
The counterfeit circuit breakers marked as "Square D" involved in the recall include models QO115, QO120, QO130, QO215, QO220, QO230, QO240, Q)250, and QO260.
Non-counterfeit circuit breakers have an amp rating written on the handle in white paint. The counterfeit units lack the paint.
The genuine circuit breakers also have a Square D insignia on the side.
Consumers were advised to contact Miami Breaker to identify whether their circuit breaker is genuine or counterfeit. If necessary, the company will arrange a free inspection and replacement.
Consumers can call 800-941-1112 for information.
