The product, in the report: GLOUE Bug Zapper Electronic Mosquito Zapper Electronic Insect Killer Eliminates Most Flying Pests Latest Type in 2019
Dear Amazon, a few days ago my wife purchased some bug zappers from Amazon. Upon first use, one of the metal plug pins broke off when removing the unit from a wall outlet, leaving the pin protruding from the wall. As that metal is at a potential of 120V AC, there is a risk that a user could touch it when pulling the unit away from the wall or when attempting to remove the part that has broken off. Please see attached a photo of the failed device and a warning sheet from the NY State occupational health office. I am an Electrical Engineer with professional registration and experience in the US and EU, so have a reasonable basis for my concern. The seller seems to believe that as the voltage generated inside the unit is low, it is safe, which is not correct. The seller also continues to list the product, and it is annotated as “Amazon’s Choice” for its vendor. I saw at least two warnings from other purchasers after a brief scan of recent reviews for this product. For my part, I wrote to the seller, also alerted Amazon in my replies which I understand are monitored by you, and I separately wrote to your CIS email below. As I have not heard back from Amazon, please acknowledge receipt of this message, which is copied to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission. Feel free to call me if I can be of any further assistance. My phone number is below. Regards, [REDACTED]
