Zebra Technologies is recalling about 1.37 million power supply units for Zebra brand thermal printers. About 166,000 units were previously recalled in December 2016.
The power supply units can degrade and corrode over time when exposed to moisture and overheat, posing a fire hazard.
The firm has received 30 reports of the power supply units overheating or catching fire, including a fire that spread from the connector to the printer, damaging the printer and surrounding workspace. No injuries have been reported.
This recall expansion involves power supply units that serve as the power source for models of Zebra manufactured thermal industrial printers – sold under the Zebra brand, including co-branded or re-branded – used to make bar codes and other commercial labels. The recall was originally announced in December 2016 and is being expanded to include power supply units manufactured by the FSP Group between October 1, 2006, and December 31, 2012.
The Zebra logo or FSP North America logo, date code, and part number are printed on the power supply unit. The power supply units were either sold as after-market kits or included with the sale of the following models of printers manufactured by Zebra:
