Latest HEZI Power Strip Recall Updates

January 15, 2026: CPSC Announces the HEZI Power Strip Recall

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the HEZI power strip recall on January 15, 2026. It covers about 1,320 HEZI Branded Power Strips, assigned Recall No. 26-194 [1]. HEZI HOME, the importer, carried out the recall with the agency and is arranging refunds for affected buyers. The notice lists no injuries so far, and CPSC has issued no follow-up action beyond this recall.

Which HEZI Power Strips Are Affected?

The recall covers HEZI Branded Power Strips with the following features:
  • HEZI Branded Power Strips with a gray or yellow metal enclosure
  • Eight black-plastic outlets
  • A power switch and circuit-breaker switch near the cord
  • No model or lot numbers listed in the recall notice
About 1,320 of these power strips sold in the United States through Amazon, eBay, Kmart, and Sears, from May 2024 through October 2025, for about $35 to $56. Check the enclosure color and outlet count against this description to see if you own an affected unit, then follow the refund steps in the next section.

Why Were the HEZI Power Strips Recalled?

HEZI Power Strips were recalled because their metal enclosure is not grounded. An ungrounded enclosure can cause an electrocution hazard if the power strip becomes energized, and CPSC treats that hazard as capable of causing serious injury or death. Dongguan Keben Electrical Appliance Co Ltd built the power strips in China, and HEZI HOME, the importer, sold them online in the United States. HEZI HOME agreed to the recall after working with the CPSC, making it a voluntary recall rather than a government-ordered one. The recall applies to the units HEZI HOME sold online between May 2024 and October 2025.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

No injuries or deaths have been reported to the CPSC for the HEZI power strips, based on the notice’s own incident count. That does not prove no one was ever hurt using them so far. The absence of reports means the agency had not received an injury report as of the recall date. The electrocution hazard exists whether or not an injury has ever been reported to CPSC for this specific recall. If you were shocked or notice damage to a power strip, stop using it right away. Report the incident, since new reports can update the CPSC’s record for this recall.

Consumers who own a recalled HEZI power strip should take the following steps:

  2. Unplug it and do not reconnect it to a power source.
  3. Contact HEZI HOME toll-free at 602-804-6830, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, by email at recall_hezi@163.com, or online at amazon.com/hezi under “Product Recalls,” to arrange a full refund.

No lawsuit has been filed over the HEZI power strip recall, and no multidistrict litigation exists for it. Searches for a case, settlement, or MDL found only law firm marketing and investigation pages. A recall does not automatically establish liability under general product liability doctrine [3]. An individual case review is the way to learn whether a product liability claim may apply to a specific situation.

Filing Deadlines

Deadlines for a product-liability claim come from state law, not from this recall. The deadline that applies depends on where you live and when the injury or loss happened. Missing a filing deadline can end a claim, even one with strong supporting facts. A lawyer review can confirm the deadline for a specific case.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Need a Lawyer Before I Contact HEZI HOME About My Refund?

No, you do not need a lawyer before you contact HEZI HOME about your refund. Requesting a refund and asking for a free case review are two separate steps you can take in any order, together or on their own, and neither one depends on the other.

Do I Have to Return the Recalled Power Strip to Get a Refund?

The recall notice does not require you to return the power strip before you receive a refund. HEZI HOME had published no updated return condition as of September 28, 2026. Contact HEZI HOME by phone, email, or through its Amazon storefront to start the process.

Can I File a Lawsuit over the HEZI Power Strip Recall?

Does the Recall Notice List a Separate Initiation Date?

The recall notice does not list a separate initiation date, according to CPSC. It gives only the announcement date for this recall, which HEZI HOME carried out voluntarily with the agency after CPSC reviewed the hazard.

Is the HEZI Power Strip Recall Still Active?

Yes, the HEZI power strip recall remains open. CPSC has not posted a closure or termination notice for Recall No. 26-194, and no new listing had appeared as of September 28, 2026. The CPSC’s own recall notice, cited above, is the most current place to check if that changes.

Who Manufactures the Recalled HEZI Power Strips?
