The product, in the report: Consumer Electric YLPT-43 surge protector/power strip in color white. 6 ports. Also has markings Intertek 4008493 on it. Has sticker 1912 on it
An item plugged into a power strip would not power on. Using a plug wiring tester I identified all plugs on the power strips had an open neutral. The wall outlet the power strip was plugged into passed the plug wiring tester test so this wasn’t an issue with the wall outlet. Upon opening the surge protection power strip up I observed neither the hot or neutral rails were soldered to the surge protection circuitry.
This was a Consumer Electric surge protector/power strip model YLPT-43 made in China #1912 (a sticker on it).
