Apex Gaming PCs is recalling approximately 17,730 Manik- and Apex-branded ATX computer power supplies because they lack required warning labels about electrical shock and electrocution. These units, which were sold individually and inside gaming computers, can be black or white and range from 450W to 1200W. If a consumer opens or disassembles the unit without seeing the missing safety warnings, they face a risk of serious injury or death. No injuries have been reported to date.
The units do not have a permanent warning label identifying electrical shock hazards, which may lead consumers to open or disassemble the device, potentially exposing them to high-voltage internal components.
Consumers should stop using the recalled computer power supplies immediately and contact Apex Gaming PCs Inc. for a free repair in the form of one permanent, UL-recognized, heat-resistant adhesive safety label containing an ANSI-compliant "Danger/Warning" shock hazard and "No User-Serviceable Parts" label sticker to be mailed to the consumer via U.S. Mail. Consumers who are uncomfortable adding the UL-recognized safety label can request a free replacement unit. Replacement units will be sent free of charge, and the original unit must be returned using the same box and provided shipping label that is sent with the replacement unit. Consumers should not, under any circumstances, attempt to open, disassemble, or service the power supply unit.
Units are secured with four precision-sized screws and a security/tamper seal. Sold both individually and within gaming computers.
