Washington Recall of Power Strips for Your Own Safety

Many places use these for convenient. Why have two outlets on your wall when you can maximize it and have 6 or 8 plug-ins. Or plug in two of them for even more.

Well, they're only build to withstand so much so if you have too many it could cause a power surge.

Fortunately, many power strips like this are build with a safety switch that shuts them down before doing damage or even triggering the circuit breaker for your place.

Instead, these CCCEI brand power strips are known to overheat which could cause smoke and/or fire due to not having a failsafe on the device.

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.
