HEZI Brand Power Strips Recall Over Electrocution Risk

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS (January 30, 2025) – A recall has been issued for the HEZI Brand Power Strips because they can pose a serious injury risk and electrocution hazard.

The recall was issued on January 15, 2026. Roughly 1320 units were sold prior to the recall.

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the power strips are in an ungrounded metal enclosure. This creates a serious risk of electrocution if the power strips are energized.

No injuries have been reported at this time. The devices were sold on Amazon, eBay, and a few other online stores.

Liability for Injuries Caused by Consumer Products

Products that rely on electrical current come with certain risks. Companies that make these products must ensure that their devices are reasonably safe. They must abide by all safety regulations for whatever product they happen to be creating. They must also test their products in all of the ways that their product could be used. There are many ways that a power strip could be dangerous.

  • Internal Components: A power strip may be composed of low-quality components that lack overload protection.
  • Moisture Exposure: If power strips are not constructed properly, this creates the risk that water could intrude into the device and short circuit.
  • Damage: If the power cord on a power strip is not conducted well. This could lead to the cord fraying or cracking over time.

If a consumer product is defective in some way, this could form the basis of a product liability claim. There are many different ways that a consumer product could be defective. It could have design defects. These are inherent to the way the product is created and exist before it is manufactured. For example, a company may have used low-quality components to construct their product.
