Product recalls are no fun for the consumer or the company that issues the recall. Not too long ago Coby Electronics issued a recall on one of its portable DVD players because of a fire hazard. Today Belkin has announced a voluntary recall of several models of its SurgeMaster surge protectors.
The recall covers 68,700 of the surge protectors that were sold from September 2003 through December 2007 for around $50. The models covered in the recall include the F9G930-10, F9G930v10, F9G930-10-W and F9G930-10-SN, which were all built in 2003.
