No one hurt Made Mar 14, 2020, sent to the company Mar 23, 2020, published by CPSC Apr 6, 2020
The product, in the report: Amazon Echo Dot with Clock (SKU: 810014301563, S/N: G0914704007503JH) Smart Speaker with integrated digital clock and auxiliary audio output (1/8”). Power supply in question is marked “15W” and has the following identifying information on it: SCNA9CW1943G02S71, Manufacturer: Salcomp (Shenzhen) Co, Ltd., Model No: GP92NB SC P/N: AM0662 GG The power supply is marked with a UL Listed marking as well as a Double-Insulated marking among others.
I Purchase an Amazon Echo Dot with Clock (SKU: 810014301563, S/N: G0914704007503GH) recently. have had this item for a few weeks plugged into a stereo receiver to provide better audio via the 1/8” Audio jack. Today I touched the front panel of the receiver and it felt like I received an AC shock. I used a [REDACTED] multi-meter to measure the AC voltage between the receiver chassis and ground and found that I had 63 VAC at the receiver chassis. I then worked through all of my devices and eliminated them one by one until I finally unplugged the power supply for the Echo Dot with Clock. The hazardous voltage went away. I unplugged the power supply from the Echo Dot and measured from the outside of the coaxial power plug to safety ground with my meter. I measured 11 VAC in one direction and when I flipped the power supply around (It does not have a polarized plug) it measured 96 VAC. Either of these is enough to stop a human heart. The issue has been reported to Amazon but they did not seem to understand the gravity of the situation - may have been lost in translation. I work in the electronics industry so I am very aware of proper electrical safety and testing protocols. The power supply did not have any DC continuity between the prongs and the barrel of the coaxial jack so there must be DC blocking caps - but line voltage is definitely being passed from one of the prongs to the barrel of the DC plug. Touching this barrel while plugged in is an extreme hazard. When plugged into the echo this can only be accessed by plugging in an audio accessory to the 1/8” jack but this is still an extreme hazard.
