Greenlee CM-700 and CM-750 electrical meters

Published October 3, 2025 · Recall initiated: August 1, 2002

What's the hazard

An incompatible grommet, located in the battery compartment to protect internal wires, can cause the meter to provide inaccurate voltage and current readings. A meter that inaccurately indicates zero voltage or current creates the potential for electric shock or an electrocution hazard from the equipment being tested.

What to do

Consumers should stop using the recalled meters immediately and contact Greenlee to receive a replacement meter.
