[OPLINTECH] FYI: APC Surge Protector/Power Strip Recall

[Bob Neeper]

We took a major, major hit yesterday when a farmer took out a pole so I have 
some APC and Tripplite surge protectors to replace.

As 3 were APC Net7's in the recall I did the form for them. Easy, as Chad said.

The bummer part is the email back saying:

"Please allow *12* weeks for processing.
  Thank you for choosing APC by Schneider Electric"

Yes, it is     1*2 weeks*,      not 1 to 2


Over the years Tripplite replacement's came in only a few weeks.
