Recall Details and Affected Products
The products were sold online at Amazon.com, Ebay.com, Kmart.com and Sears.com from May 2024 through October 2025 for about $35 to $56 [1].
Manufacturer and Importer Information
The recalled power strips were manufactured by Dongguan Keben Electrical Appliance Co Ltd, of China [2]. The products were imported by Shenzhenshihezijiajuyongpinyouxiangongsi doing business as HEZI HOME, of China [2].
Electrocution Hazard and Health Risks
The CPSC has identified a serious electrocution hazard associated with these power strips. The power strips have an ungrounded metal enclosure that poses an electrocution hazard if energized, which could result in a serious injury or death [3].
What an Ungrounded Metal Enclosure Means
An ungrounded metal enclosure is a serious electrical safety defect. When electrical components are housed in a metal enclosure that is not properly grounded, any fault in the electrical system that causes the metal housing to become energized can result in severe electric shock to anyone who touches the device. Without proper grounding, there is no safe path for electrical current to flow in the event of a short circuit or other electrical fault, creating a potentially lethal hazard.
What Consumers Should Do
Consumers should stop using the recalled power strips immediately and contact HEZI HOME for a full refund [1].
Consumers can contact HEZI HOME through the following methods:
- Call toll-free at 602-804-6830 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday [1]

The official recall details are as follows:
- Name of Product: HEZI Branded Power Strips [1]
- Hazard: The power strips have an ungrounded metal enclosure that poses an electrocution hazard if energized, resulting in serious injury or death [1]
- Remedy: Refund [1]

Other Power Strip Recalls
The HEZI recall is part of a broader pattern of power strip safety issues. The CPSC has also issued a recall for ANNQUAN Brand Power Strips due to risk of serious injury or death from fire, sold on Amazon by Hefei Juyuan Sporting Development [4].
The ANNQUAN power strips do not contain supplementary overcurrent protection, which creates a risk of fire if the power strips are overloaded, and the resulting fire can cause serious injury or death from smoke inhalation and burns [4].
Federal Law Prohibits Sale of Recalled Products
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC [1]. Consumers should not purchase HEZI brand power strips, and retailers must remove them from sale.
Importance of Electrical Safety Standards
Proper grounding is a fundamental electrical safety requirement. Electrical products with metal enclosures must be properly grounded to prevent electrocution hazards. The failure to include proper grounding in the HEZI power strips represents a serious deviation from accepted electrical safety standards and poses life-threatening risks to consumers.
Power strips are used in homes, offices, and other locations where multiple electrical devices need to be connected. The widespread use of these products, combined with the serious nature of the electrocution hazard, creates significant potential for harm to consumers.
Do I Have a Hezi Power Strip Recall Class Action Lawsuit?
If you or a loved one purchased a HEZI brand power strip and experienced electric shock, electrical injuries, property damage from electrical malfunction, or were placed at serious risk by using this defective product, you may be eligible to pursue legal action. Attorneys are currently investigating potential class action lawsuits on behalf of affected consumers.
