I had read about this a few weeks ago and now it looks like Promar has made an official statement.

This is from another website...posted by Ben Hong from Promar.

"Official statement by Promar on Lobster Gauges."

Dear Friends and Fellow Anglers,
It has recently been brought to our attention by members of the
fishing community that some of our Lobster Gauges, item #AC-310,
are measuring short by 1/16”-1/32". Although we are certain that
there are only a minimal amount of gauges in circulation with this
inaccuracy, we must take full responsibility of this error and
understand this issue must be addressed immediately and resolved
in a timely manner.
If in fact you have previously purchased a gauge which is inaccurate,
please discontinue use of this product and return it immediately to
the store where it was purchased from for exchange. You may also
contact Promar for instructions on returning defective gauges directly.
Please contact Customer Service at (310) 222-8638 for more information.
Our company firmly believes in abiding by all Fish and Game
Regulations and protecting and conserving our natural resources.
We deeply apologize for any inconveniences this recall may cause
to you and we appreciate all your support.
Thank you,

Thanks for the heads up on the gauges. I'll have to put the dial calipers on mine and see how they measure out just to be safe. Things like this is why I never keep a "Just barely legal bug". A little off on the measuring can make the a very expensive keeper if your off a bit and get a visit from the game warden. Take Care and see 'ya soon,
Perry

I had previously posted on this - took my gauge and ground it out just a bit oversized. It came about 1/32'" short. Glad to see they finally noticed at Promar.
