Popkiller is recalling about 2,500 USB car charger adapters, power adapters and 8-pin charger cables.

Improperly mounted plug blades, and inadequate electronic circuitry create a fire and electrical shock hazard to consumers.

No incidents or injuries have been reported.

This recall involves Popkiller mini USB car charger power adapters, universal USB power adapters and 8-pin USB data sync charging cables. The car charger has model number HHT-001 located on the flat side of the charger below the USB port. The charger measures 2 inches tall and 1 inch in diameter at its widest point.

The Universal USB Power adapter has model number A1265 printed directly above the plug blades on the grey surface.

The adapter measures 1.5 inches at its longest point and 1 inch wide. There is no model number printed on the 8-pin USB charging cables.

All of the recalled products are sold separately and come in the colors red, orange, green, blue, purple and pink.

The devices, manufactured in China, were sold at Popkiller retail locations in Los Angeles and Costa Mesa, California, from June 2013, through April 2014, for about $4.50 to $6.50.

Consumers should immediately stop using the phone accessories and return the products to a store where sold or send to Popkiller Headquarters for a full merchandise credit.

Consumers may contact Popkiller toll-free at (888) 345-0724 from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. PT Monday through Friday.
