  1. Hurt, no treatment

    Made Aug 19, 2020, sent to the company Sep 4, 2020, published by CPSC Sep 21, 2020

    The product, in the report: Safemore Vertical Power Stacker, model SM-OL4U8M. Black in color. Picture attached. Model SM-OL4U8M

    Safemore Vertical Power Stacker, model SM-OL4U8M. This is a power strip with integrated USB charging ports. My wife was using this power strip with a laptop computer and the USB cord from the power strip’s USB port plugged into her [REDACTED]. She experienced a shock between the earpiece of the phone and a grounded port on the laptop which was resting against her leg. Upon testing with a voltmeter, I found that the USB ports on the power strip were producing 120 volts in reference to ground on the power strip, as well as to a known good ground at the electrical service. The circuit the power strip was plugged into was tested and had no electrical faults and had a good ground.

    This unit was purchased from Amazon.com in June of 2020.
