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.
