The two models impacted (LOMB2003PK and LOMB2004PK), were sold at Ross, DD’s, and Burlington stores around the country.

What's next:
Southern Telecom is asking for anyone who purchased one of those kits to stop using them immediately. To receive a refund, consumers are asked to cut the cord in half and upload a picture of it to a website to receive a full refund.
The backstory:
In June 2024, another 19,500 units were recalled after a couple of the power cords overheated or short-circuited. Two people were burned in those cases.
