O que fazer com isso
What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with CCCEI Power Strips?
CCCEI Power Strips was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. The power strips do not contain supplementary overcurrent protection, which creates a risk of fire if the power strips are overloaded. The resulting fire can cause serious injury or death from smoke inhalation and burns. This falls under one of the more serious hazard categories (injury, choking or strangulation risk), so the recall covers every unit sold, not only units with a reported incident.
What should you do if you own this product?
Consumers should immediately stop using the CCCEI power strips and contact Middle Way Electronics to receive a full refund. Sold at: Online at Amazon.com from April 2024 to January 2026 for between $23 and $30.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
How many units are affected?
About About 5,543 units of CCCEI Power Strips are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
