    The product, in the report: devise called Best Offense pest repeller. Enclosed is a picture

    I used a device in my kitchen to ward off bugs and rodents. We had a power outage. When the power came back on, the device caught on fire, flew out of the outlet and landed on my kitchen floor. Fortunately no combustibles were in the way, but it scared the heck out of me.
