More than 6-million power cords that came with some Hewlett Packard notebook computers are being recalled because they could start fires or burn users.

The recall was issued after reports that some power cords overheated and either melted or burned.  Some people were injured.  There were 13 fires.

The power cords came with HP and Compaq notebook computers and mini notebook computers, as well as with accessories that use an AC adapter, including docking stations.  They were sold dating back to 2010.

They have the code LS-15 molded into the AC adapter end.

If you have one of the cords you're urged to stop using it and get a free replacement from Hewlett Packard.  You can call HP at (877) 219-6676 10 AM to 7 PM Eastern time weekdays or visit the HP recall site.
