I do not think that it has been mentioned before. I did know about it and
I
am not very happy. That is a lot of MCBs that I have fitted

Can I point out that the NewLec (rebadged Volex) are also affected.

I hope Hager are in the clear!


The French brand is in the clear.

I saw an announcement on the Screwfix web site but it only mentioned
Volex and Wylex, not Crabtree. I bought some Crabtree MCBs but I am
not sure which were bought in 2009 and which were bought before that.
Is there a way of identifying affected MCBs: do they have a batch
number or something printed on them, or am I best just to chnage the
whole lot? Is it just the 6A and 16A that are affected, and what about
RCBOs? Thanks.
