Heath®/Zenith and WirelessCommand® motion sensing wall switches
Recall Date: November 22nd, 2011
Type: Electric Outlets or Receptacles
Units: About 75,000
Hazards: When the switches are in the auto mode and the light is off, a small amount of leakage current passes through the electric circuit, including the socket. If consumers fail to disconnect the power at the circuit breaker and make contact with both terminals inside the socket while replacing the bulbs, there is a risk of an electric shock.
Remedies: Replace
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled wall switches and contact the company for a free wall switch replacement.
