Read the official notice at CPSC →
The text below is copied from the official CPSC record. If anything differs, the official notice is correct.
- Company / brand
- Shenzhen Shijingjie Network Technology Co., Ltd., of China
- Product
- Male-to-Male Extension Cords
- Reason / hazard
- The recalled male-to-male extension cords violate safety requirements because their exposed prongs can become energized when one end is plugged into a generator or other power source, posing a risk of serious injury and death from electrocution. In addition, using the cords to supply power from a generator to a residential electrical system (backfeeding) poses a risk of electrocution and fire. The cords' short length encourages the use of generators close to homes or enclosed spaces, posing a risk of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.
- What to do (remedy)
- Consumers should stop using the recalled extension cords immediately, taking care not to touch the live end of the cord when unplugging, and contact Shenzhen Shijingjie Network Technology for a full refund.
- Distribution / sold at
- Online at Walmart.com from April 2025 through November 2025 for between $18 and $26.
- Description
- This recall involves male-to-male extension cords, also known as pigtail cables, model numbers RY-US-06 and RY_US-1.5. The recalled, 125V 12AWG, heavy-duty extension cords are generally used to back-feed electricity to a residence during a power outage by connecting a generator to an outlet in the home. The blue or yellow cords have two male ends with a three-prong black plug and measure between 23.6 inches and 59 inches long. The model number is printed on the product's purchase order or receipt.
