Netgear's XE102 Ethernet bridge recalled

By Joshua Klein


Nothing like plugging in your Ethernet bridge and getting a little electroshock therapy.  About 53,500 units of the Netgear XE102 are being recalled because they contain a plastic housing that can detach, creating a shock hazard.
Only one instance of faulty casing has been reported, please note, and no injuries. If you've got one with a serial number from "XE12A32LB000001" through "XE12A32LB005000" or "XE12134LB005021" through "XE12143LB053586" you should call Netgear at (800) 303-5507. They'll hook you up with a free repair kit that you can affix to your bridge to ensure that the plastic housing won't become loose or separated. Or just use duct tape and take your chances. You're a big boy,
right?
