Samsonite has recalled approximately 20,000 Dual-Wattage Travel Converter Kits because the black converter can overheat and pose fire and burn risks to consumers. This happens specifically when the device is set to 50 watts but used with an appliance requiring more power. The kit includes six pieces, all featuring the Samsonite logo: one black converter and five different adapter plugs. Consumers should immediately stop using these converters and contact Samsonite to return the product for a full refund.
The converter can overheat if a load exceeding 50 watts is applied while the device is in the 50-watt setting, creating a risk of fire or burns. While no injuries have been reported in the U.S., the potential for overheating under standard use conditions makes the product dangerous.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled travel converters and contact Samsonite to return the product for a full refund.
