Klein Tools is recalling non-contact voltage testers with model number NCVT-5 with Laser Pointer with the following date codes 0518U-A1, 0618U-A1, 0718U-A1 and 0818U-A1. The product is being recalled due to a potential safety hazard where the NCVT-5 may not detect AC voltage in certain duplex outlets when used in the higher voltage setting, resulting in the operator falsely believing the electrical power is off, posing shock hazards. Please stop using your NCVT5 even if you have not experienced any issues. Please follow the customer instructions via the website below.

Klein Tools is recalling the CL110, CL210, CL310 and CL110KIT Digital Clamp Meters with the following date codes: 0875U-A1, 1015U-A1, 115U-A1, 1215U-A1, 0116U-A1, 0216U-A1, 0316U-A1 are included in this recall. “Klein Tools” and the model number are printed on the front of the clamp meters. The date code is printed on the back. The meters are black with a backlit LCD display and an orange trigger and clamp mechanism. The meters are rated CAT III 600 volts and measure voltage up to 600 volts and alternating current up to 400 amps. Only the meter in the CL110KIT is included in the recall. These meters are being recalled due to a fastener that can work itself loose overtime, potentially leading to a false reading when measuring voltage. This issue could indicate a reading of zero on energized systems resulting in the operator falsely believing the electrical power is off posing shock, electrocution and burn hazards. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled digital clamp meters and contact Klein Tools to receive postage paid labels to return the clamp meters for free replacement units.

Equipment Alert: – Manufacturer Notice – Non-Contact Voltage Testers Recalled by Klein Tools Due to Shock Hazard– Added 6/10/2021

The product was also sold in variations and kits listed with the following model numbers NCVT1A, NCVT1E, NCVT1SEN, NCVT1EP. The on/off button of the NCVT-1 is intended to be pressed down and released. If the button remains depressed during the power on off cycle, the tip of the tool remains illuminated in green, indicating the tool is “ready to detect voltage,” when it is not. This tester could fail to warn the user of the presence of live voltage if the tester is not properly operating, posing a shock hazard. Below is a link to the CPSC’s website page regarding this recall.

Please use the following with websites to create prepaid labels to return product to Klein tools for replacement.

Equipment Alert: – Manufacturer Notice – MSA Four Gas Calibration Cylinders – Added 4/30/2021

MSA is issuing this User Safety Notice to inform you of action required for a single production lot of Four Gas Calibration Cylinders (58L). The manufacturer of the cylinders has informed MSA that the torque used to secure the valve to MSA Four Gas Calibration Cylinders in lot 239511 may have been below specification for some cylinders in the lot.

When disconnecting the calibration cylinder from an accessory, such as the Galaxy® GX2 Automated Test System (GX2), there is potential that the cylinder will unthread from the valve. If this happens, the pressure in the cylinder can cause the cylinder to become a projectile.

MSA has not received any reports of injuries associated with this condition. However, we are requesting that you perform the actions outlined in this notice.

The composition and quality of the calibration gas in the cylinders is unaffected by this condition.

MSA is advising all customers remove from service MSA Four Gas Calibration Cylinders (58L) marked with lot 239511 and cylinder part number 10045035. Follow the instructions in this notice before attempting to disconnect a cylinder from an accessory. Dispose of the cylinders in accordance with local regulations and contact MSA for a replacement.

Potentially affected cylinders were sold as part number 10045035. In Brazil, potentially affected 10045035 cylinders were also sold as part of calibration kit part numbers 10195003, 10197496, 10214653 and 219445.

Identifying Potentially Affected Product

Review the cylinder labels for the part number and lot number (See Figure 1). Alternately, if the
cylinder is installed in a GX2 with RFID capability, you can use the test system interface to view the part number and lot number (See Figure 2). Do not loosen a cylinder installed in a GX2 in an attempt to read the label. Your cylinder is impacted if the lot number is 239511 AND cylinder part number is 10045035
