Description
The round extension cord reels are made of metal, are red, and contain a black 30-foot retractable extension cord. They have "ACDelco" printed in black letters on the case. A label on the back of the cord reel has catalog number "28003." Next to that label is another clear label with a date code of "Y MY" or "Y JE," meaning it was manufactured in May or June 1999. On the bottom of the extension cord reel, where the mounting ring is attached, there is a silver-colored stud with no markings on the flat head of the stud. If the flat head of the stud has a red, blue, or green colored marking, the cord reel has already been inspected and is not part of this recall. If the extension cord reel's box has a green dot or a "100% good" stamp near the UPC code, it is not part of the recall.
