The product, in the report: Mainstays square/grey bento food storage container. MS34100124534GY 6”x6”x3.4”
I put a new Mainstays Bento Food Storage container in the microwave. After a few seconds sparks began to fly from under the container. I turned off the microwave to find a sticker that must have a security tag in it was causing the flames. There are no warnings to remove the sticker etc prior to using the container. Had I walked away from the microwave there could have been a major fire.
