A batch of 28,000 Sinclair power supplies were recalled on the 26th February, 1983. This affects supplies with black and white leads only[1][2][3][4] and with reduced grip on the jack[5]. The faulty supplies have their 240V AV input line too close to the 9V DC output line[1], resulting in a risk of electric shock in humid conditions. Unaffected supplies matching the description of the faulty batch have a label attached by Sinclair to note that they had been rechecked since the recall.
