Recall Alert: Schneider Electric Square D QO™ Plug-On-Neutral Load Center
Schneider Electric has issued a product recall on specific models of the Square D QO™ Plug-On-Neutral Load Center (also known as a breaker box or electrical panel). Visit Schneider Electric online at www.se.com/us/qoloadcenter-safetyrecallnotice for more information.
Any recalled models previously installed within the state of Wisconsin will be flagged during inspection and may require replacement before the inspection is approved.
SCAM ALERT: Neither the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services nor regulating or licensing boards (e.g. State Board of Nursing) will contact credential holders requesting payment to clear or restore licenses. You will also not receive emails from DSPS or regulatory boards asking you to verify your account by clicking on a link or by providing your email and password. If you receive a call, email, fax, letter, text, or other communication indicating that there are problems with your license/credential that can be resolved with immediate payment or by clicking a link or providing your email and/or password, this could be a scam. Do not give out your personal, confidential information to someone claiming to be from a government agency or board.
