Zebra Technologies has expanded its recall of power supply units used with various Zebra brand thermal industrial printers, affecting approximately 1.37 million units. These power supply bricks, manufactured by FSP Group, can degrade and corrode over time when exposed to moisture, leading to overheating and a fire hazard. There have been 30 reports of these units catching fire or overheating, including one incident where the fire spread to the printer and surrounding workspace. The affected units were sold both as part of new printer kits and as standalone aftermarket accessories between October 2006 and June 2013. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled power supplies and contact Zebra for a free replacement.
