Description
These universal electric outlet adaptor plugs were sold as either the Worldwide or Universal Adaptor Plug under four brand names: Samsonite, Royal Traveller, American Tourister and El Portal. "MODEL: 1804" is written on the bottom of the adaptor plug. They contain three adaptor plugs, which are used by travelers worldwide to connect electrical plugs into electrical sockets. The adaptors include a hard plastic case, which houses the three different plugs. A knob on the top of the product can be turned to extend the plugs for use.
Hazard
Multiple metal plugs can be extended from the product at one time. Consumers touching an exposed plug, while the adaptor is inserted into an electric outlet, can receive an electric shock.
Remedy
Stop using the adaptor plugs immediately and call E & B Giftware LLC for a replacement item of comparable value or a refund.
Incidents and injuries
None reported.
