The hazard

The cords have undersized wires, incorrect ratings, lack overcurrent protection and allow polarize plugs to be incorrectly inserted into the receptacles. These cords present fire, shock and electrocution hazards to consumers.

What to do

Consumers should stop using the recalled cords immediately and return them to the store where purchased, for a refund. Consumers also can return the cords directly to the company, for a refund, plus the cost of postage.
