Why These Power Strips Are Being Recalled
The problem? These CCCEI power strips don't have the necessary safety features to protect against overloads. That means if you plug in too many devices, the power strip could overheat and start a fire. Nobody wants to find out their power strip is dangerous. The lack of "supplementary overcurrent protection" could lead to smoke inhalation and burns, making this a serious issue for U.S. consumers.
Is YOUR Power Strip Part of the Recall?
This product recall in the United States involves CCCEI-branded power strips that come with 6ft, 10ft, and 15 ft power cords. The power strips themselves are black metal, and they have six black plastic receptacles with individual on/off switches for each one. Take a look at the back of your power strip. You should see a white label that says: "Relocatable Power Taps. Caution keep children away. To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only indoors, risk of electrical shock. Do not plug into another relocatable power taps or an extension cord. Use only in dry location. Made in China". If your power strip matches this description, it's part of this recall.
