What's being recalled

Power Adapters for heated pet beds

Units: About 20,000

This recall involves the Class 2 Transformers that were sold with PetSafe Heated Wellness Sleepers. The power adapters are identified by the markings "PLUG IN CLASS 2 TRANSFORMER," "MODEL NO: K12-800" and have a spring coil covering the length of the electrical wire that goes from the sleeper. Power adapters without spring coils are not affected by this recall.

The problem, in CPSC's words

When the metal connector is removed from the bed, it can cause arcing between the coil spring and the connector, posing a fire and burn hazard to consumers.

Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC

The firm has received three reports of connectors melting. No injuries or fires have been reported.

What CPSC says to do

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled power adapter and contact the firm to receive a free replacement adapter.

How to contact the company

For additional information, contact Radio Systems Corporation at (800) 732-2677 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. ET Monday through Friday and Saturday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. or visit the firm's website at www.petsafe.net
