WakaWaka is recalling about 700 electrical adapter kits because the adapter can overheat, smoke, or even explode, and the plastic outer shell can break open. There have been four reports of the adapters overheating, including instances of smoking and one explosion, though no injuries have been reported. These black kits were sold online at waka-waka.com between November 2013 and April 2015 for approximately $9 and allow users to charge electronics using AC current. Consumers should stop using the adapter kits immediately and contact the company for a full refund.
The adapter kit can overheat, creating a risk of fire or explosion. Additionally, the plastic shell of the adapter is prone to opening, which exposes internal components and poses a serious electrical shock hazard to consumers.
