Plain-English summary
Legrand Wiremold is expanding its recall of under-cabinet power and lighting strips with part number PX1001. The recalled products have four outlets and one fluorescent light and were manufactured from January 2011 through December 2013. Approximately 46,000 units were sold in the U.S. and 169 in Canada, including about 14,200 units previously recalled in September 2012.
The recall is being issued because the internal electrical connections of the power strips are substandard, which poses risks of overheating and fire. The company received one report of an incident, but no injuries were reported.
The affected power strips were sold at various retail locations nationwide, including Ace Hardware, Home Depot, and True Value Hardware, as well as online at Amazon.com, from February 2011 to April 2014 for about $40. Consumers should immediately unplug and stop using the power strips and return them to Legrand Wiremold for a full refund.
