US Government Recalls RadioShack Power Supplies (Jul 3, 2008) -- On July 
2, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in cooperation with 
RadioShack, announced a voluntary recall of 13.8 V dc power supplies. The 
CPSC said that consumers should stop using these power supplies 
immediately, as the "power supplies are wired incorrectly, posing 
electrocution and fire hazards." No injuries have been reported in 
conjunction with the power supplies that were sold in RadioShack stores 
nationwide from October 2004-January 2008 for between $50 and $85. 
Manufactured in China, the CPSC said that the recall involves RadioShack 
13.8 V DC Power Supplies, catalog numbers 22-507 and 22-508 with date 
codes from 08A04 through 01A08. Date code format is MMAYY where MM is the 
month and YY is the year. The catalog number and date code are located on 
the back of the power supply. Power supplies with a green dot on the 
product and the product's packaging have already been repaired and are not 
included in the recall. The CPSC recommends for consumers to unplug the 
recalled power supply immediately and take it to any RadioShack store for 
a free repair. Registered owners of the recalled power supplies will be 
mailed a notice. For additional information, contact RadioShack at 
800-843-7422 anytime, or visit their Web site.
