The company’s comments, in its own words

(1/19/2023) Luxor : At Kwikboost, our focus is on product safety. We requested that the customer send us back the product to examine it, but this request was declined. From our discussions with the customer and the incident reports they provided, frayed and overused or damaged cords seem to be the root cause. We offer all new products with an included one year free Service Plan with every sale, that includes replacements of cords when they are needed. We then offer a paid Service Plan after the first year of use to ensure that cords are replaced when they become work through daily and intended wear and tear. In this case, the customer had purchased the Service Plan for their second year, but then chose to let it lapse two years ago, indicating that the cords are at the time of incident between 2-3 years old old and likely needing to be replaced after years of general daily use. In our experience, we have identified a few other instances of frayed/damaged cords which appear to have been damaged by from overuse/misuse that have been reported to us; replacement cords have been provided and have resolved the issue; as with any electric devices, operating it with a damaged cord is a serious safety hazard and should always be avoided. Our instructions clearly outline this. As a result of this incident, we have taken three actions to try to avoid similar issues in the future resulting from misuse of damaged cords: Action #1 - We are updating the product instruction files to highlight the requirement for the customer to perform periodic inspections on the cables, as they will fray and deteriorate over time, approximately 1,000 uses we estimate. The new instructions call out the need for customers to inspect cords for damage over time, and replace them with Kwikboost certified cables is essential for operating a safe product. Instructions also include this highlight going forward. Action #2 – We created new warning labels/language that are now attached to/printed on the faces of all charging stations indicating that they are only safe to use for mobile phones and very small tablet devices, not computers or tablets. This prevents overheating of the units in the event that devices larger then those allowed are plugged in. Action #3 – We performed an email campaign to all existing customers warning them to read the new, current instructions and calling out specifically the need for them to inspect their devices periodically for cord damage, and like with all electronic devices, always replace damaged cords. The email also called out the requirement that the devices be used to charge only mobile phones and small mobile devices (not laptops or Chromebooks). We now include the new instructions (in Action #1) and also a hyperlink to request extra warning labels (from Action #2) in the email to the customer base, to allow them to have more labels to attach to existing products in the field.
