CPSC, Longwell Electronics Announce Recall of Power Cord Sets Sold with HP Inkjet Printers
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission, (CPSC), Longwell Electronics, of Brea, Calif., is
voluntarily recalling about 2.5 million power cord sets sold with inkjet
printers from Hewlett-Packard Company. The connector can break,
exposing electrical contacts and posing a shock hazard to consumers.
No injuries or incidents have been reported. This recall is being
conducted to prevent the possibility of injury.
The gray, two-wire power cord sets with a LS-7C connector were
sold with the following HP printers: HP Deskjet 800 series and 900
series, HP Photosmart 1000 series, 1100 series, 1200 series, and 1300
series inkjet printers. The name "Longwell" is molded on the plug
between the blades.
Department, computer, office and electronic stores including Best
Buy, CompUSA, Costco, Office Depot, Office Max, Staples and Wal-Mart
stores sold the printers with the Longwell cord sets nationwide between
April 2001 and February 2002 for between $100 and $400.
Consumers should stop using these printers immediately and contact
HP for a free replacement cord. For more information, consumers can
contact HP at (877) 917-4378 anytime or visit the firm's web site at
www.hp.com.
