Extension Cord Recalled by D-M Sales NEWS from CPSC U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Information and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Ken Giles November 4, 1996 (301) 504-7052 Release # 97-018 CPSC and D-M Sales Corp. Announce Extension Cord Recall WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), D-M Sales Corp., doing business as Supreme Import Export Inc., of Brooklyn, N.Y., is recalling 2,000 extension cords. The cord's wires are undersized, making the cord unsuitable for use because it cannot carry the same load as a properly constructed extension cord. The recalled cords present fire, shock, and electrocution hazards. CPSC and D-M Sales are not aware of any injuries involving these extension cords. This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury. The brown, 9-foot extension cords are imprinted with the phrase, "SPT-2 VW-1 18 AWGX2C E135675 403801-001." The identification number E109853 is molded on the plug. The cords are packaged in a green cardboard sleeve labeled in part, "Supreme HOUSEHOLD EXTENSION CORD...9 FT...UPC #0 18285 00422 4 ..." Wholesalers and discount stores sold the cords nationwide from February 1993 to September 1996 for about $1. Consumers should stop using the recalled cords immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund. For more information, consumers should call D-M Sales Corp. (Supreme Import Export Inc.) at (800) 551-1113 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. EST. Consumers who live in the New York metropolitan area should call (718) 499-5454.
