Male-to-Male Extension Cords (Pigtail Cables)
Shenzhen Shijingjie is recalling male-to-male extension cords (models RY-US-06, RY_US-1.5) sold on Walmart over electrocution and carbon monoxide poisoning risks.
Stop using the recalled extension cords immediately. Do not use them to back-feed power from a generator to your home. Contact Shenzhen Shijingjie Network Technology or Walmart for a refund or replacement. Check your purchase receipt or the product's purchase order for the model number to confirm whether you own an affected cord.
Why it was recalled
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.
Where it was sold
Online at Walmart.com from April 2025 through November 2025 for between $18 and $26.
