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. Adam |

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. |

The Crabtree MCBs that have been recalled are not the ones that fit the Crabtree Starbreaker CU (ie the CU that SF sells) but the ones that fit the Loadstar. Cheers Adam |
