Target is recalling about 90,000 heyday 3 Foot Lightning USB charging cables because the metal cord casing can become electrically charged if it touches the wall charger prongs. The firm has received 14 reports of these cables smoking, sparking, or catching fire, including two reports of finger burns to consumers. These iridescent cables (purple, green, and blue) were sold at Target stores and online from June 2018 through January 2019 for about $15. Consumers should immediately stop using these cables and return them to any Target store for a full refund.
The metal exterior of the cable can conduct electricity if it makes contact with the prongs of a wall charger while plugged in, creating a high risk of electrical shock or starting a fire.
Consumers should immediately stop using the product and return the recalled cable to any Target store for a full refund.
