Home networking gear maker Netgear voluntarily issued a recall on one of
its Ethernet bridges on Wednesday after it discovered the product could
cause a potential electrical hazard. The problem exists with the XE102
Wall Plug Ethernet Bridge with serial numbers XE12A32LB000001 through
XE12A32LB005000 and XE12134LB005021 through XE12143LB053586.
The plastic casing on the unit, which plugs into the wall, could become
detached, potentially causing electrical shocks. No injuries have been
reported, Netgear said. The roughly 53,500 units being recalled were
sold at various electronics stores, Web sites and through the Netgear
Web site from February 2003 through May 2004. Consumers should stop
using the product immediately and contact the company for a free repair
kit, Netgear said. Information on the recall and the repair kit can be
found on the company's Web site
