Fire Hazard Prompts Counterfeit Circuit Breakers Recall
Specialty Lamp International has announced the recall of about 371,000 circuit breakers due to potential fire hazard. The circuit breakers are labeled "Square D" but have been determined by Square D to be counterfeit. The counterfeit breakers were sold at electrical product distributors nationwide from May 2005 through June 2006, and were labeled as Square D QO-series, models 115, 120, 130, 215, 220, 230, 240, 250, 260 and 2020 and QOB-series models 115, 120, 130, 220, 230, 250, 260 and 1515.
Specialty Lamp, of Deerfield Beach, FL, has indicated that actual Square D circuit breakers have (a) the amp rating written on the handle in white paint on the front of the breaker (authentic Square D circuit breakers manufactured prior to 2003 did not have white paint on the amperage numbers); (b) the Square D insignia molded onto the breaker side, and; (c) a yellow chromate mounting clip with half of the top of the clip visible. If your breaker, labeled as Square D, does not match this description, it may be counterfeit.
