Belkin’s Surge Protector Recall

Belkin’s Surge Protector Recall

By: Jamie Pert | October 28, 2009 | 1 Comment

Belkin have recently voluntarily recalled several models of their SurgeMaster surge protectors, the reason for the recall is said to be because due to a risk of electric shock.

The models which are being recalled were all built in 2003 and sold between September 2003 through to December 2007 for around $50, there are said to be 68,700 affected surge protectors in all.

According to SlashGear the exact reason for the recall is to do with the 360-degree rotating power outlets, over time these can deteriorate and then cause a risk of electric shock.

For more information regarding the recall check out SlashGear’s article, if you are unsure whether your model is effected I recommend contacting Belkin Support.

    My Belkin SurgeMaster just started on fire after knocking the power our in our small office building for 2 seconds. Prior to that the lights were flickering and had done so numerous times over the past 2 months. After this happened, I unplugged the surge protector from the wall though it is burned. Luckily, the new Canon copier attached to the surge protector did not get hurt. If you have one of these Belkin Surgemasters, I advise you stop using it right away and send it back to Belkin for a new one.
