SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20230928-F1075-2147344977. Matched catalog product: CableMod 12VHPWR 180 Degree Angled Adapter Variant B. Incident: There is a company called CableMod. They mae custom cables for consumer power supply's. They have am angled adaptor that they started selling a few months ago. The issue is the adaptor is failing and melting inside consumer computers. I have documentation of this happening almost everyday. CableMod refuses to do a recall. They made a revised adapter V1.1 that they claim is safer but the original but still saying the original never has a problem. It's not just a fire risk. Some of the people that purchased the adaptor will never know am issue happened because they only sent an email out to people that bought directly from their site. Here are some of the cases. There are much more than this.

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20260512-3DD91-2147319442. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: CableMod 12VHPWR 180 Degree Angled Adapter Variant B (CableMod 12VHPWR Angled Adapter, 180-degree version. This is an aftermarket power adapter for desktop computer graphics cards. It is U-shaped and plugs into the 16-pin 12VHPWR power port on the top of a modern graphics card. Its purpose is to redirect the GPU power cable at a 180-degree angle, allowing the cable to be routed back toward the power supply for cleaner cable management in compact PC builds.). Incident: A CableMod 12VHPWR 180-degree angled adapter (subject to CPSC Recall 24-112, announced February 2024) failed in the exact manner the recall warned about, damaging the graphics card it was connected to. The product is an aftermarket power adapter that plugs into the 12VHPWR power port on a modern desktop graphics card ([REDACTED]) to redirect the power cable at a 180-degree angle for cable management in compact PC builds. The adapter was purchased in June 2023 through the manufacturer's official Amazon.com storefront, installed in a personal desktop computer connecting a [REDACTED] graphics card to the power supply, and used continuously in that role for approximately three years without apparent issue. Yesterday the system began exhibiting GPU power-delivery faults. The insufficient power indicator LED on the graphics card flashed repeatedly, and the system intermittently black-screened with the GPU pinned at 100 percent utilization. These symptoms match the loosening and overheating failure mode identified in the recall. Standard troubleshooting for this failure mode is to reseat the adapter. When this was attempted (depressing the retention tab and pulling the connector), the adapter would not release from the graphics card's power port. The plastic housing on the adapter wiggles independently of the connector body, suggesting the housing has partially separated while the conductor terminals
