Model 28003 ACDelco extension cord reels
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Woods Industries is recalling red metal extension cord reels with black 30-foot retractable cords labeled "ACDelco" that were manufactured in May or June 1999. These reels have a catalog number "28003" on a label on the back. The housing of these reels can become energized, creating a risk of electrical shock or electrocution. Consumers can identify recalled models by checking the bottom of the reel where the mounting ring attaches—if the silver-colored stud has a flat head with no markings, it is part of the recall. Reels with a red, blue, or green marking on the stud's flat head, or boxes with a green dot or "100% good" stamp near the UPC code, are not affected.
Consumers should unplug the cord reels immediately and stop using them. Woods Industries is offering either a refund or a free replacement extension cord reel. To obtain a refund, consumers should return their reels to any Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse.

The round extension cord reels are made of metal, are red, and contain a black 30-foot retractable extension cord. They have "ACDelco" printed in black letters on the case. A label on the back of the cord reel has catalog number "28003." Next to that label is another clear label with a date code of "Y MY" or "Y JE," meaning it was manufactured in May or June 1999. On the bottom of the extension cord reel, where the mounting ring is attached, there is a silver-colored stud with no markings on the flat head of the stud. If the flat head of the stud has a red, blue, or green colored marking, the cord reel has already been inspected and is not part of this recall. If the extension cord reel's box has a green dot or a "100% good" stamp near the UPC code, it is not part of the recall.
