Yes- I'm sure there are. But they don't meet OSHA regulations. Has anyone been able to explain why power cable would make a difference? Yes. See the first page of this thread.

Between them and UL and also national electrical codes, essentially solid core power cords are illegal. So if one makes a fire, electrical hazard or any such, it won't be covered by homeowner's or renter's insurance.
