  1. Hurt, no treatment

    Made Feb 17, 2021, sent to the company Mar 5, 2021, published by CPSC Mar 19, 2021

    The product, in the report: Metro Vac Electric DataVac Pro Series VAC N Blo A tube shaped car detailing vacuum cleaner, 110 volts. Model MDV-1BA

    I recently purchased a Metro Vac Electric DataVac Pro Series VAC N Blo | Model MDV-1BA. Upon plugging in and having the motor/unit turned on for only about 30 seconds, I moved the unit to vacuum another area and burned my hand. I turned off the unit, let it cool and then turned on for another minute and the unit was even hotter. There is no insulation in this unit, no paperwork that came with it stating that it gets dangerously hot, and I feel this unit needs to be looked at by your organization and taken off the market until changes are made so people do not burn their skin.
