Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Home Depot is recalling about 11,300 units of CE Tech 1,000 ft. Cat 6 Riser Cable because it fails to meet fire resistance standards. This type of cable is designed to run between floors of a building and must be able to self-extinguish during a fire to prevent flames from spreading. While no incidents or injuries have been reported, consumers should remove the affected cable and return it to any Home Depot store for a full refund.

Risk

The riser cable does not meet essential fire safety standards, posing a fire hazard as it may not self-extinguish as required if a fire occurs.

  2. Verify the packaging: The cable was sold in blue and black boxes marked 'CE Tech 1,000 ft. riser cable, Cat 6 23-4'.
  3. Identify the purchase date: These cables were sold at Home Depot stores nationwide between January 2013 and February 2013.
  4. If you have identified the recalled cable, stop using it and remove it from its installation.
