Reported risk: This recall involves THNN electrical wire labeled on its packaging as 12 gauge solid white 100' UPC 048243982721 and 12 gauge stranded red 50' UPC 048243229215. The actual wire has "THHN Cerro Wire 14 gauge" printed on it. The UPC number and 12 gauge is found on the plastic wrap and on a label at the bottom of the reel. Hazards: While the actual electrical wire has "14 gauge" printed on it, the packaging incorrectly labels the electrical wire as 12 gauge. If used as a 12 gauge wire, it can overload, posing a fire hazard to consumers.
