Recall #26-401 · Published April 9, 2026
Male-to-Male Extension Cords
CPSC published a recall notice for Male-to-Male Extension Cords from Shenzhen Shijingjie Network Technology Co., Ltd. on April 9, 2026. CPSC identifies this 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. The official remedy states: 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.
