The cords, which measure 6 or 9 feet long and feature 3 receptacles, contain undersized wires, incorrect ratings, and lack proper overcurrent protection.

The recalled cords are marked "SPT-2, 18AWGX2C, VW-1, 60 C" and feature a safety cover with caution statements including "Rated 125-Volts, For Indoor Use Only."
