Electrical Wire Splices (also known as Butt Splice Connectors)
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Gardner Bender has recalled butt splices used to connect electrical wires together, typically in small appliances like audio equipment or in cars. The yellow vinyl splices are about one inch long and ¼ inch wide and are marked with "12-10" to indicate they work with 12-10 AWG wire. They were sold in packages of 8 or 50 under model numbers 10-126 or 21-126.
When crimped, these splices can fail to hold wires together adequately, creating shock and fire hazards. According to the recall notice, consumers should immediately stop using products containing the recalled splices and contact Gardner Bender for free replacement splices.
