Torpedo7 has issued an urgent recall over a camping extension cord it says may have been wired backwards during production. <\/p>\n
The recall applied to the Torpedo7 Camp Extension Lead 15m, with the barcode 9420078951911, sold at Torpedo7 and The Outlet between January 15, 2025 and July 10, 2026. <\/p>\n
“The extension lead may have been incorrectly wired during manufacture, with the wiring terminals connected in reverse,” the retailer said. <\/p>\n
“This can cause the electrical circuit to fail and may result in the fuse blowing when the product is used.”<\/p>\n
Customers with the affected extension lead were advised to stop using it immediately, and return it to the store where it was purchased for a full refund. <\/p>\n
Images of the affected product and further information were available on the Product Safety New Zealand and Torpedo7 websites. <\/p>\n
