Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Cabela's is recalling approximately 600 Electronic Jerky Blasters because the battery charger adapter can overcharge, causing the battery and adapter to overheat and pose a fire hazard. The product resembles a caulking gun with a black handle and a 15-inch gold-toned tube labeled "Cabela's Power Jerky." It was sold as a set with interchangeable tips and cleaning brushes at Cabela's nationwide between August 2013 and March 2014. One incident of overheating has been reported, though no injuries have occurred. Consumers should immediately stop using the product and contact Cabela's for a full refund.

Risk

The battery charger can fail to stop charging once the battery is full, leading to excessive heat buildup in both the adapter and the appliance battery. This overheating creates a risk of fire and potential burn injuries to users.

  2. Check your product for the item number IK-540848, which can be found on the front of the instruction manual or underneath the barcode on the original cardboard packaging.
