Hurt, care not known Made Sep 20, 2019, sent to the company Oct 9, 2019, published by CPSC Oct 24, 2019
The product, in the report: Rhino 5V 2.5A Power Adapter with Micro USB Output for [REDACTED]
I bought 2 ea. 5V 2.5A Rhino wall power adapters to supply a micro-computer ([REDACTED]) . On both adapters the 5V outputs are not floating, They have 40V to 60V AC superimposed. Connecting the (-) terminal of the power supply to real ground with 1kOhm made the resistor smoke, so there is not just static or a high impedance path. When I first hooked up the power supply I got severely shocked and holding the connector (Mini-USB) to a known grounded USB port it sparked heavily. It also damaged my entertainment system. By profession I am a physicist and have a lot of experience with electronics. If someone uses these power supplies with toys it may be very dangerous. I am willing to send the objects in for evaluation.
