Why these products were recalled

Due to misaligned V-Lock feature on the Mobile Power Unit power cords, which prevents the locking mechanism from properly engaging with the Mobile Power Unit and may cause unintended disconnect.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
