Health Canada has issued a nation-wide recall for more than 97,000 USB wall chargers sold on Amazon.ca saying the product poses an “unreasonable risk” of electric shock.
The Power-7 USB wall chargers are 2.1A/5V dual port USB cube power adapters and were manufactured in China. They are white with a grey stripe and the model number—US2018—can be found on the same side as the prongs.
