    The product, in the report: Expert Gardener electric blower vacuum I do not have the serial number or other information and can’t get it now, only the burned motor is left

    I was blowing leaves off our wooden deck and left the blower outside. Our neighbor noticed the deck was on fire at 1am and called 911 and woke us up. The fire dept determined the fire was caused by the leaf blower. The damage was extensive and we are fortunate the neighbor saw it or it would have burned our home as well.
