AutoZone Booster Cables

December 13, 2007
AutoZone is recalling about 140,000 "Valucraft" booster cables. The clamps were assembled incorrectly resulting in reverse polarity. This poses an electrical shock and explosion hazard to consumers.

AutoZone has received reports of four incidents of reverse polarity that resulted in minor property damage.

This recall involves the Valucraft eight-gauge and ten-gauge booster cables. The cables are orange and have “8GA” or “10GA” printed on them.

The cables were sold at AutoZone stores nationwide and on its website from June 2007 through October 2007 for between $12 and $20. They were made in China.

Consumers should stop using the booster cables immediately and return them to any AutoZone store for a full refund or a free replacement.

Consumer Contact: For additional information, contact AutoZone at (800) 230-9786 anytime, or visit the firm’s Web site at www.autozone.com.

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
