According to the incident report filed on September 14, 2026, a consumer purchased a Kakyanill power strip, identified by the model number X004NRPZXJ, which also included a USB charging station.

Safety Concerns
This incident highlights critical safety concerns associated with the Kakyanill X004NRPZXJ power strip:
- Immediate Dangers: The melting of wires indicates a severe electrical malfunction, posing an immediate risk of electrical shock, burns from direct contact with overheated components, and potentially igniting nearby combustible materials, leading to a house fire.
- Long-Term Risks: The melting suggests extreme heat generation, constituting a significant fire hazard capable of causing extensive property damage and serious injury or fatality to occupants.
- Property Damage Potential: Beyond the immediate danger to individuals, a malfunctioning power strip can cause substantial property damage. This includes damage to the connected electronic devices, the electrical outlet it’s plugged into, and surrounding furniture or structural elements of a home in the event of a fire.
- Who Might Be Affected: Any consumer owning or using the Kakyanill X004NRPZXJ power strip is potentially at risk. The danger is particularly heightened in households with children, pets, or individuals who may not immediately recognize or react to signs of electrical malfunction.
What Consumers Should Do
Given the severity of this incident, consumers who own a Kakyanill X004NRPZXJ power strip should take immediate action:
- Discontinue Use Immediately: If you own this specific power strip, unplug it from the wall outlet immediately and discontinue use. Do not attempt to plug it back in or continue using it.
- Do Not Attempt Repairs: Never attempt to repair a faulty electrical device yourself. This can be extremely dangerous and may lead to further hazards.
- Identify Your Product: Check your power strips for the brand “Kakyanill” and the model number “X004NRPZXJ” or any similar identifying marks.
- Contact the Retailer: As the product was purchased from AMAZON.COM, contact their customer service to report the incident and inquire about return or refund options.
- Report the Incident: File a detailed incident report with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) at www.cpsc.gov. This helps the agency track potential hazards and initiate investigations or recalls.
- Retain Product Evidence: Do not discard the power strip. If possible, safely store the product as evidence, especially if you experienced property damage or injury.
