Tens of thousands of homes across Australia are at risk of catching fire because of faulty, non-compliant electrical cables installed in the past four years, the consumer watchdog warns.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission saysInfinity and Olsent cable ranges, sold widely through 18 retail groups including Masters Home Improvement, Thrifty and Mitre 10, could become brittle and spark fires from 2016 and onwards.

It suspects the faulty cabling is being used in as many as 40,000 homes and businesses in Australia. Of the 4000 kilometres of cable sold, nearly half - 1849 kilometres - was to New South Wales consumers between 2010 and 2013.

All sizes and configurations of thewhite TPS (Thermoplastic-sheathed) and Orange Round Infinity mains power cables failed safety tests because of inferior plastic insulation coating.

"Testing has found that the cables will degrade prematurely and if the cables are disturbed, the insulation could break and expose live conductors, resulting in possible electric shock or fires," ACCC Chairman Rod Sims said.

The ACCC says the cables will age at different rates subject to ambient temperature and the load placed on them.

The commission is so concerned it has formed a special taskforce involving consumer agencies and building and safety regulators to execute a nationwide product safety recall.

The recall served as a reminder to companies sourcing from cheaper overseas suppliers whose products may not meet quality standards, Mr Sims said.
