Intermatic Recalls In-Wall Timers Due to Shock Hazard

Reported: July 1, 2009 Initiated: July 1, 2009 #09259

Product Description

This recall involves the Intermatic in-wall electronic timers with model numbers ST01, ST01C, ST01AC, ST01AC70, ST01C70, ST01CL, EI600C, EI600LAC, EI600LAC8, EI600WC, and EI600WC8. This product is a lamp and appliance timer and typically takes the place of a standard wall switch. The timer is white, off-white, or almond and measures 2 1/2 inches high by 1 3/4 inches wide. Model numbers can be found on the packaging and on the instruction. In-Wall timers are included in this recall if (1) the brand name "Intermatic" is molded on the front of the timer cover door, (2) the timer has only four keypad buttons, and (3) there is no 3-digit date code (e.g. "04C") stamped on the inside of the timer cover door. Timers with a 3-digit date code (e.g. "04C") stamped on the inside of the timer cover door are not included in this recall.

Reason for Recall

When consumers trying to replace the timer's battery place a metal object through the battery tray slot, the object can reach internal metal contacts, posing a shock hazard to consumers.

Remedy

Consumers should not attempt to change the in-wall timer's battery until they receive the repair kit. Consumers should contact Intermatic to obtain a free repair kit with installation instructions.
