The product, in the report: Children’s toy science kit
1/25/2022: The consumer and her granddaughter were conducting an experiment with the science kit.
They placed a substance that came in the kit, into a glass container, that the consumer owned. The substance was supposed to be heated in the microwave for 60 seconds.
However, after heating it for 30 seconds, the consumer’s granddaughter told her that the product was catching fire. The consumer said no and turned the microwave off. A few seconds later, she restarted it and within a seconds, the glass and the contents inside it, exploded in the microwave. Damage was limited to the product inside, but there was none to the microwave itself. The consumer cleaned the glass up without injury.
1/2022: The consumer called the manufacturer and reported the problem to them. Their rep. offered to reimburse her the cost of the kit. The consumer asked to speak with someone in their Science Department, but the rep. said that the person (name unknown) was unavailable and would call her back. She never received a call back. She is not sure if or when they’ll send the reimbursement, but she’s more concerned with discussing the safety of the product with the appropriate person in the firm.
There was a precaution “only use with adult supervision.”
There were no other warnings on the product.
