Recall on Sq.D QO AFCI Breakers

[james wuebker]

I received an e-mail from Mike Holt on a recall on Sq. D QO AFCI breakers but somewhere I lost the mail. Can someone give me direction where to find that site so I can re-check the breakers I have.
Thanks!

Jim,

I will continue to buy Square D products. It is my favorite brand of equipment. Even good companies make mistakes every now and then.

Square D has a long way to fall before it becomes FPE.

If anything, this deals a blow to the already suspect AFCI's.

They have been taking there sweet time to correct this.What if the electrical inspector refused to sign off untill working breakers were installed?Had they acted promply i would still respect them.Yes they were a fine quality but now ????

Jim, what problem still needs to be corrected? We don't use AFCIs in Wisconsin so this has not been a big deal up here.

Also, in fairness, don't forget this link http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml05/05035c.html
