Two power strips made by two different companies are under recall by the CPSC. ANNQUAN power strips were recalled December 18, 2025, for a fire risk. HEZI power strips were recalled separately January 15, 2026, for a shock risk.
About 11,200 ANNQUAN power strips, models EX-D112-05 and EX-D106-25, can overheat and catch fire under a heavy load. About 1,320 HEZI power strips have a metal case that is not grounded and can shock a user.

Latest Power Strips Recall Updates
January 15, 2026: CPSC and HEZI HOME Recall Power Strips for Electrocution Risk
CPSC and HEZI HOME announced a recall of about 1,320 HEZI brand power strips on January 15, 2026 [1]. The strips have an ungrounded metal enclosure that can become energized, creating an electrocution risk.
HEZI HOME sold the eight-outlet units through Amazon, eBay, Kmart, and Sears between May 2024 and October 2025. The CPSC has received no reports of injury tied to this recall.
December 18, 2025: CPSC and Hefei Juyuan Recall ANNQUAN Power Strips for Fire Risk
CPSC and Hefei Juyuan Sporting Development announced a recall of about 11,200 ANNQUAN brand power strips on December 18, 2025 [2]. The strips lack overcurrent protection and can catch fire if overloaded.
Hefei Juyuan sold two ANNQUAN models on Amazon.com from December 2023 to October 2025, for $15 to $40. The company received seven reports of a power strip blowing a fuse, with no fires or injuries reported.
Which Power Strips Are Affected?
Two separate power strips are covered by this recall, each with its own model and appearance:
- ANNQUAN power strips, models EX-D112-05 and EX-D106-25, were sold only on Amazon.com. The EX-D112-05 has a black case with 12 yellow outlets, while the EX-D106-25 is yellow with six black outlets.
- HEZI power strips, with a gray or yellow metal enclosure, eight black receptacles, and a circuit breaker switch near the power cord. HEZI HOME sold them through Amazon, eBay, Kmart, and Sears.
Consumers can match the enclosure color and receptacle count to the CPSC notice for their brand to confirm whether their power strip is included.
Why Were the Power Strips Recalled?
ANNQUAN power strips were recalled because they lack overcurrent protection. Without this protection, the strip can overheat and catch fire if it carries too much power.
HEZI power strips were recalled because their metal case is not grounded. Without grounding, the case can become energized and shock someone who touches it.
The CPSC says both hazards can cause serious injury or death: the ANNQUAN fire risk includes smoke inhalation and burns, and the HEZI shock risk includes electrocution. It assigned recall numbers 26-161 (ANNQUAN) and 26-194 (HEZI).
The two defects are unrelated to each other: one is an electrical overload problem, and the other is a wiring and grounding problem.
Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses
Hefei Juyuan Sporting Development has received seven reports of ANNQUAN power strips blowing a fuse, as of the December 18, 2025 recall notice.
The CPSC recorded no reports of fire or injury tied to those incidents. The reports came from consumers who purchased the strips through Amazon.com.
HEZI HOME and the CPSC have received no incident reports tied to the HEZI power strip recall, as of the January 15, 2026 notice.
An absence of reports does not mean the electrocution hazard has never happened. It means no report has reached the company or the CPSC yet, and reports of an incident are not proof that a specific power strip caused it.
What Should Consumers Do?
If you own an ANNQUAN or HEZI power strip covered by this recall, take the following steps:
- Stop using the recalled power strip immediately, even if it appears to be working normally.
- Unplug the power strip and do not plug in any devices until a replacement arrives.
- If you have an ANNQUAN power strip, contact Hefei Juyuan Sporting Development for a refund. Call 401-998-3366, email recall_annquan@163.com, or visit annquanrecall.com.
- If you have a HEZI power strip, contact HEZI HOME for a refund. Call 602-804-6830, email recall_hezi@163.com, or visit amazon.com/hezi and select “Product Recalls.”
- Report any incident involving either power strip to the CPSC through SaferProducts.gov.
- Follow the recalling company’s instructions for returning or disposing of the power strip once your refund is confirmed.
Other Recalls, Warnings, or International Actions
CCCEI brand power strips are also recalled, in a third, unrelated action [3]. The CPSC warned about them on March 5, 2026, after Middle Way Electronics declined a voluntary recall.
The agency then announced Recall No. 26-346 on March 26, 2026. About 5,543 units were sold on Amazon.com from April 2024 to January 2026, for $23 to $30.
Like ANNQUAN, the hazard is missing overcurrent protection that can cause a fire. The CPSC logged two reports of sparking or melting, with no fires or injuries. Full details are on the site’s CCCEI power strips lawsuit page.
Legal Options
A power strip fire or shock injury may support a legal claim. Common legal theories include a design defect or a failure to warn.
These claims say a company should not sell an unsafe product. A recall does not automatically establish liability or eligibility for compensation.
No lawsuit, class action, or MDL has been filed over the ANNQUAN or HEZI recalls. Only a lawyer can review the facts and say if a claim may work.
Filing Deadlines
Deadlines for filing a product liability claim are set by state law. They depend on where you live and when the fire, shock, or related injury happened.
Some states start the clock on the date of the incident. Others may use a different starting point, such as when the harm was discovered.
Missing a deadline can end a claim even when the underlying facts are strong. Consumers who believe they were harmed by a recalled power strip should speak with a lawyer soon to learn which deadline applies.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where Can I Find the Official CPSC Recall Notices for These Power Strips?
The official CPSC recall notices for these power strips are linked in the References section below and inside each Latest Updates entry on this page. Reading the notice for your specific brand confirms the exact models, dates, and remedy that apply.
Can I File a Power Strip Recall Lawsuit If the Notice Lists No Injuries?
Yes, you may still be able to file a power strip recall lawsuit even if the notice lists no injuries, such as the HEZI recall. A product liability claim can rest on property damage or a near-miss, and a lawyer can review the specific facts of your situation.
What Damages Can Be Recovered in a Power Strip Recall Lawsuit?
Damages in a power strip recall lawsuit can include medical expenses, property damage from a fire, and lost income, depending on the facts. No specific amount is guaranteed, and a case review can identify what applies to a particular situation.
What Are the Contact Hours for the ANNQUAN and HEZI Recall Hotlines?
The ANNQUAN and HEZI recall hotlines keep different hours. ANNQUAN’s line runs weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, while HEZI’s opens an hour earlier, at 8 a.m., and closes at the same time each day.
Where Were the Recalled HEZI and ANNQUAN Power Strips Made?
The recalled HEZI and ANNQUAN power strips were both made in China. HEZI strips came from Dongguan Keben Electrical Appliance Co Ltd. ANNQUAN strips came from Hefei Juyuan Sporting Development Co., Ltd., which also imported them into the United States.
How Can I Tell Which ANNQUAN Model I Have?
You can tell which ANNQUAN model you have by checking its power switch. The EX-D112-05 has one on/off switch at the end of the housing. The EX-D106-25 has a separate on/off switch for each receptacle.
