No one hurt Made Nov 18, 2013, sent to the company Nov 26, 2013, published by CPSC Dec 11, 2013
The product, in the report: 3-prong power cord with clover-leaf shaped male end on one side and standard 3-prong AC connector on the other.
I purchased an Acer Notebook (Model Aspire 5750) on October 25, 2012 and received it within 10 days. This week, I noticed that the three-pronged cloverleaf-shaped power cord that plugs into the transformer is separating at the point where the cord meets the plug. Copper wiring is now exposed, rending the power cord dangerous and unusable.
Acer has refused to replace the cord because of its 1-year warranty policy. As a result, Acer is not tracking this type of problem. Concerned that this is not an isolated incident and could cause a real fire hazard, I am reporting the issue.
