CPSC, E-filliate Inc. Announce Recall of Extension Cords
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), E-filliate Inc., of Rancho Cordova, Calif., is
voluntarily recalling about 30,000 extension cords. The cords have
reversed polarity, which can present electric shock and electrocution
hazards to consumers.
E-filliate has received one report of reverse polarity, though no
one has been injured.
The recalled Ziotek brand extension cords are black and about one
to two feet long. The letters "MSL" are imprinted on the cord's three-
pronged plug. The single-receptacle cords have the website,
www.ziotek.com, printed on the cord; while the double-receptacle cords
have the name "ZIO TEK" printed on the splitter. These extension cords
were manufactured in China.
"Cyberguys" catalogs and the "Cyberguys" website
(www.cyberguys.com) sold the extension cords nationwide from January
2002 through March 2002 for between $2 and $3.
Consumers should unplug the cords immediately and call E-filliate
at (800) 327-6703 between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday to
receive a prepaid shipping label to return the cord and to select a free
replacement or a full refund. Consumers who return the recalled product
will also receive a 10 percent discount on a Cyberguys product.
Consumers can visit www.cyberguys.com
for information.
Cords that have the letters "MSL" imprinted on the plug, but which
also have a yellow "QC" label wrapped around the cord, are not included
in this recall.
