Manik and Apex-Branded ATX Computer Power Supplies

Apex Gaming PCs Inc., of Houston, Texas, is recalling Manik and Apex-branded ATX Computer Power Supplies (PSU) because the units lack a permanent, on-product warning label identifying potential electrical shock and electrocution hazards, posing a risk of serious injury or death if the unit is opened or disassembled.

The recall, announced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on April 16, 2026, involves about 17,730 units sold in the United States and about 500 sold in Canada. No incidents have been reported. The power supplies were made in China and sold online at ApexGamingPCs.com from December 2021 through February 2026 for between $70 and $150.

The recalled power supplies come in varying wattages, including 450W, 750W, 1000W, and 1200W units, and can be black or white with either 'Apex' or 'Manik' labels. The units are secured with four precision-sized screws, and a security/tamper seal covers one of the screws. They were sold both within customer gaming computers and individually.

Consumers should stop using the recalled power supplies immediately and contact Apex Gaming PCs Inc. for a free repair, which involves a permanent, UL-recognized, heat-resistant adhesive safety label containing an ANSI-compliant 'Danger/Warning' shock hazard and 'No User-Serviceable Parts' sticker mailed to the consumer.

Consumers who are uncomfortable adding the label can request a free replacement unit, with Apex Gaming PCs installing replacements free of charge and providing free round-trip shipping for affected PCs and power supply units. Consumers should not attempt to open, disassemble, or service the power supply unit.
