Shenzhen Shijingjie Network Technology is recalling about 200 male-to-male extension cords, also known as pigtail cables, sold on Walmart.com. These cords violate safety requirements because their exposed prongs can become energized when one end is plugged into a power source, posing a severe electrocution risk. The cords are also dangerous when used to 'backfeed' power from a generator to a home, which can cause fires and carbon monoxide poisoning if generators are placed too close to the residence. Consumers should stop using these cords immediately and contact the manufacturer for a full refund.
The exposed prongs on the male ends of the cord can carry live electricity when the other end is plugged in, leading to serious injury or death from electrocution upon contact. Additionally, the short length of the cord encourages improper generator placement near homes, which can lead to deadly carbon monoxide buildup.
Consumers should stop using the recalled extension cords immediately, taking care not to touch the live end of the cord when unplugging, and contact Shenzhen Shijingjie Network Technology for a full refund.
