Southwire Recalls In-Wall Wi-Fi Switches Due to Fire Hazard

Southwire recalled in-wall Wi-Fi switches sold under the WiOn name due to fire hazard, said the Consumer Product Safety Commission Thursday. The switch lets consumers control and monitor lights and appliances at home with a smartphone from anywhere by app. Consumers should contact Southwire to receive $4 to purchase a non-Wi-Fi replacement switch. The recall affects about 24,000 switches sold in home improvement and hardware stores nationwide, at Amazon.com and Walmart.com. No incidents or injuries were reported.
