Hewlett-Packard is recalling millions of computer power cords over possible fire and burn risks, the company announced Tuesday.
Customers who purchased a notebook or mini notebook computer between September 2010 and June 2012 may have an affected cord. Adapters sold during that time may also be affected. Eligible customers can fill out a form to receive a free replacement cord.
“HP believes that certain power cords shipped with notebook PC products and AC adapter accessories may pose a risk of a fire and burn hazard to customers,” the company stated on its website. “We are taking this action as part of our commitment to provide the highest quality of service to our notebook customers.”
According to HP's website, some affected power cords are labeled “LS-15” at the end of the cord. The Wall Street Journal reported that more than six million cords are affected in the recall across the US and Canada.
