Travel Technology - Recall of International Adaptor Plugs (Targus)

I'm currently dealing with a recall situation in our home, and while visiting the Consumer Products Safety Commission's website today, I noticed this recall. If any of you have the Targus all-in-one International Adaptor Plug, it can cause fire or a shock. Here's the link to the press release:

damn that was my uber-favorite adapter...... even worse my wife is using it right now overseas........ time to send her a "cease and desist" email :eek:

that really bites, those were the coolest by far adapters, so what else is there thats a good adapter to get as a replacement?

Kensington offers one, but only up to 550 watts

It doesnt have a picture of the reverse (cord) side, does it take international plugs or just US plugs?

Would you believe I just bought one of these 2 hours ago? Just my luck...

Delete you post, go use the adapter to burn down your house and sue them and the store you bought it from (I hope it was some big national chain?) for selling you a dangerous product that was under a total recall of all units produced.


The problem with this country is that if you didn't know me better you couldn't be sure if I was joking or not :(

If I didn't know you were joking I could probably include you in the lawsuit also!! :)

I prefer the Belkin adapter...
