There have been 14 reports to the retailer of the cables smoking, sparking or igniting. Two of the 14 reports said consumer’s fingers were burned.
The Chinese-manufactured chargers were sold nationwide and online at Target.com for about $15 from June 2018 to January 2019.
Those using the cables should immediately stop using it and return it to any Target store for a full refund, the CPSC said.
