Fluke Digital Multimeters
Published October 8, 2025 · Recall initiated: August 19, 2002
What's the hazard
The recalled units can take longer than normal, up to 18 seconds, to display readings of AC voltages above 500 volts. Users can misinterpret the delayed reading to mean that high voltage is not present. If high voltage is present, users could be exposed to a risk of shock, electrocution, and thermal burns.
What to do
Consumers should stop using these testers immediately and contact Fluke for information on returning the recalled unit for a free repair.
