The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  2. No one hurt

    Made Nov 7, 2016, sent to the company Nov 18, 2016, published by CPSC Dec 12, 2016

    The product, in the report: Writing on cable: USB SHIELDED HIGH SPEED CABLE 2.0 REVISION 28AWG/IP+28AWG/2C E318233 [unknown symbol] AWM 2725 80°C 30V KAIBAO

    I used the cable to connect my PC to a Kodak EasyShare DX4530. The cable immediately became hot to the touch. I pulled the cable out an hour later after it became so hot that it was impossible to hold with bare hands. That’s when I noticed that it had partially melted near the camera end of the cable.
