Ningbo Litesun Electric is recalling about 42,000 Commercial Electric 15-amp triplex outlet converters (also known as taps). These white plastic devices convert one outlet into three, but the front-facing outlet was manufactured with reversed internal wiring. One person has already reported being shocked while using this product. The recalled converters were sold exclusively at Home Depot stores and online from February 2017 through July 2017 for approximately $5; consumers should return them for a full refund.
The front outlet prongs are incorrectly configured, causing reverse polarity when a plug is inserted. This defect creates a direct risk of electrical shock to the user and can cause connected devices to overheat or spark, leading to a fire.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled outlet converters and contact Home Depot for a full refund.
