There is a safety recall on all Direct Connect 8 Powerstrip (DC8) manufactured by Neptune Systems. I know we all buy used equipment from one another so if your serial number falls between DC81000 and DC81633 check out their website for a free replacement.
Really, I just returned my dc8 on tuesday because it wasn't working. He tried to say it was my fault. To bad I didn't check the number. He already sent me a replacement.
I talked to Curt a few times a few days before that letter came out on 12/30 and he didn't say anything to me. I talked to him a few days after the letter came out on 01/02 and he didn't say anything to me. So I paid to have it sent back to him and called him with the tracking number on 12/7 and he still didn't say anything to me. LOL. I just asked him on that thread if he will cover the shipping, haha.
