Samsonite recalls travel converter kits

Samsonite LLC of Mansfield, MA has voluntarily recalled about 20,000 of its dual-wattage travel converter kits manufactured in China.

According to the company, the converter unit in the kit can overheat if a load in excess of 50 watts is applied to the unit while in the 50-watt setting, posing a fire and burn hazard to consumers. Samsonite has not received any reports of incidents related to the converters, but has initiated the recall to minimize the risk of future incidents.

The recall converter kits were sold in retail stores nationwide and through the Samsonite on-line store from January 2011 through December 2012 for approximately $35.
