"...There have been reports of surge protector failures in the field.
Our investigation concluded that moisture can penetrate the unit
causing an electrical issue and potential failure. There is currently
no government recall of the surge protectors, but as a precaution, we
are removing and replacing all the surge protectors in question. There
is no additional cost to our customers."

day with a bang. The case did not shatter, but stuff came out the hole.
