CPSC Warns Consumers to Stop Using CCCEI Power Strips Immediately Over Fire Hazard
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a product safety warning urging consumers to stop using CCCEI brand power strips immediately, covering models sold with 6-foot, 10-foot, or 15-foot power cords.
According to the CPSC, 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. The products have a black metal enclosure with six receptacles made of black plastic and individual on/off switches for each receptacle. They were sold on Amazon.com from April 2024 through January 2026 for between $25 and $30, and were manufactured in China. The CPSC said the retailer, Middle Way Electronics, has not agreed to an acceptable recall.
In its warning, the CPSC classified the products as posing a substantial hazard and told consumers to stop using the power strips immediately rather than continuing to use them for power supply.
