Monoprice is recalling about 10,800 Category 6 Ethernet Bulk CMR Communications cables because they fail to meet flammability safety standards. These cables are designed for use in walls and between floors (risers), but because they do not resist flames properly, they can allow a fire to spread more quickly throughout a building. These cables were sold in various colors and lengths between December 2018 and February 2020 on Monoprice.com and Amazon.com; Monoprice will provide a free inspection and replacement installation.
The cables do not meet UL 1666 flammability requirements, which means they can facilitate the spread of fire between floors and through vertical shafts when exposed to a flame. While no injuries have been reported, this defect poses a significant fire hazard in home and office structures.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cables and contact Monoprice to schedule a free installation visit to inspect and replace the cable at no charge.
