Lenovo is recalling about 500,000 LS-15 AC power cords because they can overheat, creating a fire and burn risk to users. These black power cords were distributed with IdeaPad and Lenovo brand laptop computers from the B-, G-, S-, U-, V-, and Z-series. While no injuries have been reported in the U.S. or Canada, Lenovo has received 15 reports from other countries involving the cords sparking, melting, or burning. Consumers should immediately stop using the power cords and contact Lenovo for a free replacement.
The internal components of the power cord can overheat and melt, which can cause the cord to spark or catch fire. This poses a significant risk of property damage and thermal burns to anyone near the device while it is plugged in.
Consumers should immediately unplug and stop using the recalled power cords and contact Lenovo for a free replacement. Consumers can continue to use the computer on battery power.
