[IdeaStormer]

Red Alert!

 

APC is issuing a recall on some of their Surge Protectors which might (again might) start a fire.

 

Ref: http://recall.apc.com/en

 

Side Story on the matter: http://edition.cnn.com/2013/10/03/us/surge-protectors-recalled/index.html?hpt=us_c2

 

So if you have an APC surge protector of the following model number you need to send it back and get a new one (yeay!)

 

 

8 Series are the fat one above and the 7 Series are the longer skinner ones.

Addendum: Mods this probably goes better in the Power Supply forum section but seeing its a recall I think its best here to catch everyone's eye, if for a bit of time.
