The U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission said Wednesday that
retailer Target Corp. (TGT) is recalling certain USB charging
cables that may present shock and fire hazards.
About 90,000 of the Target heyday USB Charging Cables are being
recalled.
The product carries a Target item number of 080-08-8261, an
online item number of 53247520 and a date or lot code of June 2018
through January 2019.
The metal around the cord can become electrically charged if it
contacts the USB wall charger plug prongs while charging, the CPSC
said.
The CPSC also said consumers should immediately stop using the
item, which can be returned to any Target store for a full
refund.
