Tectron International is recalling approximately 55,000 3-in-1 USB charging cables because they can overheat during use. There have been two reports of the chargers melting, although no injuries or property damage have been reported. These 10-foot white cords were sold primarily through school fundraisers between July and August 2014 for about $3.50. Consumers should immediately stop using the cables and contact the company for a refund through a provided mailing label.
The internal components of the charger can overheat while plugged in, causing the plastic casing to melt and creating a risk of fire in the home or vehicle.
Consumers should immediately stop using the charger and contact Tectron International to request a mailing label to return the merchandise. Mailing labels will be emailed to customers.
