HP Recalling Some Printer Cables

Apparently some of the cables sent through certain HP printer models create a risk of shock. Here's a snip from ZDNet:
Although no injuries or incidents have been reported, Longwell is recalling about 2.5 million power cord sets because a connector could break, exposing electrical contacts and posing a shock hazard to consumers. In a press release, Longwell and the CPSC advised consumers to immediately stop using certain printers and to contact HP for a free replacement cord.
The gray power cord sets were sold with the HP Deskjet 800 and 900 series and the HP Photosmart 1000, 1100, and 1200 and 1300 series inkjet printers. The name "Longwell" is molded into the plug of the cord.
For those of you with this cord, more information on the problem and replacement options can be found here. Read the story at ZDNet here.

Well I checked out their cable and it wasnt recalled. It is gray, but it doesnt say "longwell" so I guess they are in the clear.
