New York, NY — The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and tc electronic have voluntarily recalled about 388 Bass Guitar Amplifiers because of an electrical shock hazard the product poses to consumers. The CPSC announced the nationwide product recall on March 21, 2013.

The amplifiers were recalled after discovering that a nut inside the chassis can come loose and fall between the electrical coils, which poses an electrical shock risk to consumers.
