Due to faulty plastic molding Belkin recall its SurgeMaster surge protectors

Belkin International has recalled SurgeMaster Surge Protectors due to the faulty molding of the plastic 360-degree rotating plug. The faulty molding may crack or detach from the plug assembly, posing a shock hazard to consumers.

Belkin has received seven consumer complaints about cracking of the plug molding. No injuries were reported.

Belkin says, this recall involves the SurgeMaster Surge Protector, models F9G930-10, F9G930v10, F9G930-10-W and F9G930-10-SN, all manufactured in 2003. The model number and date of manufacture are located on the underside of the unit. Grey models F9G930-10-GRY and F9G930fc10G-CL are not a part of this recall.

Belkin sells these protectors from September 2003 through December 2007 for about $50, which are manufactured by Powertech, a Taiwan based company.

Remedy: Consumers should stop using these power strips immediately and contact Belkin for a new replacement unit.
