Compare every letter, number, space, and suffix. A similar-looking product may not be included in this recall.
The CPSC data does not provide a discrete model-number list for this record. Compare the product description and identification details on the official notice.
The serial number is found by connecting the sensor to the computer after installing Logger Lite software, which is included with the sensor.
Why it was recalled
When connected to a computer, a static discharge to the sensor can cause the sensor to draw too much current from the computer, causing the sensor to get hot. The sensor can get hot enough to cause a burn to the skin or damage objects in contact with it.
Incidents and injuries
Vernier reported one incident in which a teacher suffered burns to her palm.
Official remedy
Consumers should stop using the Vernier Go!™ Temp included in this recall immediately and contact Vernier Software & Technology for a free replacement.
