What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with Manik and Apex-branded ATX Computer Power Supplies (PSU)?
Manik and Apex-branded ATX Computer Power Supplies (PSU) was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. The units lack a permanent, on-product warning label identifying potential electrical shock and electrocution hazards, posing a risk of serious injury or death if the unit is opened or disassembled. This falls under one of the more serious hazard categories (injury, choking or strangulation risk), so the recall covers every unit sold, not only units with a reported incident.
What should you do if you own this product?
Consumers should stop using the recalled computer power supplies immediately and contact Apex Gaming PCs Inc. for a free repair in the form of one permanent, UL-recognized, heat-resistant adhesive safety label containing an ANSI-compliant "Danger/Warning" shock hazard and "No User-Serviceable Parts" label sticker to be mailed to the consumer via U.S. Mail. Consumers who are uncomfortable adding the UL-recognized safety label can request a free replacement unit. Replacement units will be sent free of charge, and the original unit must be returned using the same box and provided shipping label that is sent with the replacement unit. Consumers should not, under any circumstances, attempt to open, disassemble, or service the power supply unit. Sold at: Online at www.ApexGamingPCs.com from December 2021 through February 2026, for between $70 and $150.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
How many units are affected?
About About 17,730 (In addition, about 500 were sold in Canada) units of Manik and Apex-branded ATX Computer Power Supplies (PSU) are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
