The Consumer Product Safety Commission is urging consumers to stop using CCCEI brand power strips because the products pose a risk of serious injury or death. The agency said the devices lack required supplementary overcurrent protection, creating a fire hazard if the strips are overloaded. The warning applies to CCCEI power strips sold with 6 foot, 10 foot, or 15 foot power cords. The retailer, Middle Way Electronics, has not agreed to an acceptable recall (CPSC Product Safety Warning, No. 26-313 (Mar. 5, 2026)).

The power strips have a black metal enclosure, six black plastic receptacles, and individual on/off switches for each outlet. The products were manufactured in China and sold on Amazon.com from April 2024 through January 2026 for $25 to $30.
