The metal around the cord can become electrically charged if it contacts the USB wall charger plug prongs while charging, posing shock and fire hazards, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Target has received 14 reports of the cables smoking, sparking or igniting, including two reports of consumer finger burns.

Target stores nationwide and online at www.target.com  sold this cable from June 2018 through January 2019 for about $15.

Consumers should immediately stop using the product and return the recalled cable to any Target store for a full refund.
