The recalled Handy Switch is model number KS-080. They were sold at mass merchandisers nationwide and through TV infomercials from March 2007 through July 2009.

Consumers should visit the IdeaVillage Web site and fill out a form to initiate a free replacement. In the meantime the product should not be used.
