Riser cable recalled for fire hazard

Home Depot, U.S.A., Inc. of Atlanta, GA has initiated a recall of about 11,300 boxes of 1000 foot lengths of data cable manufactured in China.

In a filing with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Home Depot reports that the recalled riser cable does not meet fire resistance standards, posing a fire hazard. The company says that it has not received any reports of incidents or injuries related to the riser cable, but has initiated the recall to prevent future incidents.

The recalled riser cable was sold exclusively at Home Depot stores nationwide in January and February 2013 for about $100.
