Shenzhen Shijingjie extension cords recalled for electrocution risk
Shenzhen Shijingjie male-to-male extension cords (model RY-US-06 and RY_US-1.5) sold on Walmart.com have exposed live prongs that can cause electrocution. These cords are sometimes used to connect generators to home outlets during power outages, which can backfeed electricity into the home's wiring and create fire risk. Their short length also encourages generators to run near homes or indoors, risking carbon monoxide poisoning.

In the CPSC's words
- Description
- This recall involves male-to-male extension cords, also known as pigtail cables, model numbers RY-US-06 and RY_US-1.5. The recalled, 125V 12AWG, heavy-duty extension cords are generally used to back-feed electricity to a residence during a power outage by connecting a generator to an outlet in the home. The blue or yellow cords have two male ends with a three-prong black plug and measure between 23.6 inches and 59 inches long. The model number is printed on the product's purchase order or receipt.
- Hazard
- The recalled male-to-male extension cords violate safety requirements because their exposed prongs can become energized when one end is plugged into a generator or other power source, posing a risk of serious injury and death from electrocution. In addition, using the cords to supply power from a generator to a residential electrical system (backfeeding) poses a risk of electrocution and fire. The cords' short length encourages the use of generators close to homes or enclosed spaces, posing a risk of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.
- Remedy
- Consumers should stop using the recalled extension cords immediately, taking care not to touch the live end of the cord when unplugging, and contact Shenzhen Shijingjie Network Technology for a full refund.
