Power Cord Sets Sold with HP Inkjet Printers Recall

Longwell Electronics 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 and 900 series, HP Photosmart 1000 series, 1100 series, 1200 series, and 1300 series injet printers. The name "Longwell" is molded on the plug between the blades.

If you have one of these printers, additional information can be obtained from: http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml02/02115.html If you need a replacement of these cords contact Lisa Dozier, x6-2553.

In additiona, the Center receives information from the Government/Industry Data Exchange Program (GIDEP) concerning product recalls. In an effort to keep employees informed of recalls that may affect you at work and at home, Code 300 has created a GSFC Safe Alerts Website. Alerts are entered as they are received in the Systems Safety and Reliability Office. Employees may read about the below listing and other important recall alerts at the following website address: http://ssro.gsfc.nasa.gov/Safety_Alerts/safealert.html
