In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The HEZI brand power strips in question feature a gray or yellow metal enclosure and are equipped with eight receptacles made of black plastic. A power and circuit breaker switch is located at the end of the metal enclosure, nearest to the power cord. The critical safety concern stems from the ungrounded metal enclosure, which can become energized and present an electrocution hazard.
These power strips were sold online through platforms including Amazon.com, Ebay.com, Kmart.com, and Sears.com. The affected products were available for purchase between May 2024 and October 2025, with prices ranging from approximately $35 to $56. The manufacturer of these power strips is Dongguan Keben Electrical Appliance Co Ltd, located in China, and the importer is Shenzhenshihezijiajuyongpinyongsi, also known as HEZI HOME, also based in China.
Consumers who possess one of the recalled HEZI brand power strips should immediately discontinue its use. To receive a full refund, individuals are instructed to contact HEZI HOME directly. They can be reached toll-free at 602-804-6830 during business hours, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Time. Alternatively, consumers can send an email to recall_hezi@163.com or visit the HEZI HOME section on Amazon.com and navigate to the “Product Recalls” page for further instructions.
As of the recall announcement, no incidents or injuries related to this specific product have been reported to the CPSC. This recall serves as a crucial reminder for consumers to remain vigilant about the safety of electrical products in their homes and to promptly address any potential hazards.
