As each report says it, in short words; CPSC’s own words are under each.

The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

    The product, in the report: Wind Tunnel Vacuum Cleaner

    This caller purchased her vacuum cleaner sometime near December 2016 and had no problems with it until February 14, 2017 when she was vacuuming around her sofa when the cover was sucked up into the vacuum but instead if being able to just pull it back out with no damage the vacuum began smoking and when she pulled the material out and saw that there was a hole burned in the material, the unit was smoking and a soot like material was around the hole. She did contact the manufacturer who was not interested.
