Description
This recall involves CCCEI-branded power strips with 6ft, 10ft, and 15 ft power cords. The power strips have a black metal enclosure with six receptacles made of black plastic and individual on/off switches for each receptacle. The back of the power strip has a white label that says: "Relocatable Power Taps. Caution keep children away. To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only indoors, risk of electrical shock. Do not plug into another relocatable power taps or an extension cord. Use only in dry location. Made in China"

The power strips do not contain supplementary overcurrent protection, which creates a risk of fire if the power strips are overloaded. The resulting fire can cause serious injury or death from smoke inhalation and burns.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the CCCEI power strips and contact Middle Way Electronics to receive a full refund.
Incidents and injuries
Middle Way Electronics has received two reports of the power strips sparking and melting. No fires or injuries have been reported.
