Is your surge protector one of the 51,000 recalled for being poorly made fire hazards?

Surge protectors should protect your electronics from being blown out, not pose a threat to burn down your house or shock your world. That’s why JBR Solutions recalled about 51,700 Aduro Surge Wall Charging Towers.

The exact problem, as stated in the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recall notice: “The surge protectors contain incorrect polarization and poorly soldered connections, posing shock and fire hazards.”

JBR knows of one report of incorrect polarization, but no injuries or fires.

This covers all Aduro Surge Wall Charging Tower surge protectors, model No. AHR-318 with SKU No. SRG-WT12O2U or model No. SS-Q1202 with SKU No. SRG-WT12O2UNV. Those can be found on the bottom of the surge protectors. They were sold online at the websites for Aduro, Walmart, Groupon, Woot and Amazon.

JBR is taking the financial hit on this, offering refunds. Send a photo of your receipt to productrecall@jbrsol.com. Include the name and address of the refund recipient.

If you don’t have the receipt, email the address to which the surge protector was shipped with the website from which it was bought. If you don’t know the website of purchase, send the month and year it was bought.

If you have questions, email the address above or call JBR at 877-522-3876, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Eastern time.
