HP Recalls 5 Million Laptop Power Cords

Courtesy U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (NEW YORK) — Hewlett-Packard is recalling the power cords for more than 5 million laptops because they can overheat and potentially catch fire.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the HP and Compaq notebook computers impacted by the recall were sold from 2010 to 2012. The power cords are black and have an LS-15 marking on the AC adapter end.

There have been a few reports of the cords melting or charring, and two claims of minor burns.
