    The product, in the report: ProTeam Super CoachVac HEPA Backpack Vacuum w/14” Floor tool

    OEM YELLOW POWER CORD for ProTeam CoachVac vacuums. I bought 2 of these vacuums in 2010. This year, BOTH of their power cords went--one “burned out” the end of the cord; the other bursted into an electrical fire! These cords have a bad knack of twisting tightly, pulling & breaking the wires inside. I’ve been cleaning for 15 years and never had any power cord issues with other cords. The incident date listed below is for the 2nd one--the one that caught on fire.
