Hazard Information
The recalled male-to-male extension cords violate safety requirements because their exposed prongs can become energized when one end is plugged into a generator or other power source, posing a risk of serious injury and death from electrocution. In addition, using the cords to supply power from a generator to a residential electrical system (backfeeding) poses a risk of electrocution and fire. The cords' short length encourages the use of generators close to homes or enclosed spaces, posing a risk of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.

About This Product
These cords are used to back-feed power from a generator into a home during outages. They are designed for temporary, short-distance electrical transfer.
Why This Is Dangerous
The design allows live prongs to energize the generator end. Backfeeding a home can electrify circuits unexpectedly and cause shock or fire. Short cords encourage generator placement close to living spaces, increasing CO risk.
Industry Context
This recall is not part of a broader industry pattern.
Real-World Impact
Consumers face immediate safety risk if using these cords. The recall creates potential refunds and removal from household use to prevent harm.
