CPSC, PM International Ltd. Announce Recall to Replace International Adapter Plugs
Product Description
The 2-prong slip-on adapter plugs are used to connect American 2-pronged electrical plugs into various foreign outlets. The adapter plugs are plastic with a white matte finish. The only marking on the plug is "6A250V", which is molded on the bottom surface between the prongs of the adapter. No other writing appears on the adapters. PM International sold the adapter plugs individually and as part of a traveling kit with voltage converters. Only adapter plugs sold individually are included in the recall.
