    The product, in the report: AmerTac night light with photo sensor - model# 71055 Has a white plastic housing with clear rectangular shaped diffuser

    I have several night lights in my home, all are the same make and model. AmerTac model 71055 auto turn on night lights. I have had these for approximately 10 years. I have recently had two of them fail. It starts out with an acrid smell in the house that I can’t immediately identify where it is coming from. I then discover the white plastic housing near the photo eye on the nightlight is turning brown. In both instances it appears the photo eye is melting inside the housing. Both times the nightlight continued to operate so it wasn’t immediately apparent that something was wrong with it. It should be noted that I do understand basic electricity concepts and I always use the proper sized light buld in all fixtures. I believe if I would have been out of town when this happened these highlights could have started a fire. I will take pictures of what it looks like and will be happy to mail the product in for inspection.

    Once again I had two identical products fail in the same way within a year of each other.

    The product, in the report: Photosensing Night-light w/3 Outlets, 15 Amp

    Text of consumer’s complaint:

    I purchased the enclosed nightlight and outlet tap a few years ago and soon after putting it to use, the GFCI for that circuit would occasionally trip (once every few months). The tap was used on our kitchen island, mostly for one laptop and a small LCD TV, and never for any appliances or other heavy loads. The problem continued intermittently. We had the circuit checked by an electrician friend who could not find any issues. Earlier this year, the circuit breaker tripped, but operated normally when reset. Last week I was unplugging my laptop and saw a blue flash, heard a pop from the tap and the CB tripped. I removed the tap, reset the CB and the circuit was fine.

    Upon dissembling the tap it appears that either one of the plug contacts in the tap or the plug blade from whatever was plugged into the tap was shorting to the uninsulated wire with the transistor or diode as there is minimal clearance between the two. Interestingly, the other wire to the nightlight is insulated.

    The uninsulated wire in close proximity to the live contacts appears to be a significant safety issue.

    Please contact me if you have any further questions. Thanks for your efforts,

    Smell of Electrical Burning in Kitchen at 9pm at night. Traced to Amertac 71055 7W bulb NiteLite that was flickering & lightly smoking. The bottom of the plastic case was extremely hot to the touch but not melted. The AC connector prongs were hot enough to burn your fingers when removed from the wall socket. The 120v AC wall socket was hot to the touch and no circuit breaker had tripped. The wall socket took about an hour to cool down. There was no smoke detector operated as this was caught early as we were home. There was a good possibility of a house fire of we were gone for the week-end in my opinion. A second identical NiteLite was removed from our bedroom that evening and I replaced both NiteLites with an [REDACTED] NiteLight.

    The product, in the report: Night light

    I recently purchased a total of 6 AmerTac Nite Lites, model 71281. (Two 3 packs) They are a small flat plastic panel that glows when plugged into an outlet. I bought them to replace similar night lights, so I plugged them into the same outlets I had used for a many years. After having the new ones plugged in for a couple weeks, I started to notice a burning smell in my kitchen on various occasions. However, I couldn’t locate the source. Several days later I saw an outlet smoldering and quickly unplugged the light. The back of the Nite Lite was burnt and blackened where it plugs into the wall. Subsequent checking of the other lights turned up one other light that was partially melted but less severely, on a separate circuit in a different part of my home. I am convinced if I had not noticed the smoldering light in time, the house would have caught fire.

    I feel this could be a safety hazard and I thought it best to report it in case others have found the same problem.

    I was using plug-in LED night lights throughout my home. I discovered that one of them, made by AmerTac, model #71352, had caught on fire, burned, and melted while still being connected to the socket. Lucky the entire house didn’t burn down. I read on the internet that other models of AmerTac plug-in LED lights have been recalled for possible fire and shock dangers. Please advise. Thanks. [REDACTED]

    We had an AmerTec LED night light in my son’s bedroom at night. This morning he came running and screaming out of his bedroom saying that his light was broken (he is 3 years old). When I went to look, all I saw was smoke and smelled burning plastic. I took a picture of the light, also. It looks like it exploded on the inside. This particular light was not listed on the recall. The model number is 71352. It is a white, rounded light with SY on the back. Very scary incident for my little boy. We live in a brand new house, so I knew it couldn’t be a wiring issue.

    The product, in the report: AmerTac 72174 LED Night light with 2 auxiliary electrical outlets

    AmerTac nightlight 73174 shorted out and melted the lower portion of the plastic cover, the half of the duplex outlet to which it was attached, and destroyed the insulation on the wires connected to the outlet (12 gauge). There is a large black streak on the wall above the wall outlet and the house reeked with the smell of melting plastic and insulation (probably not great stuff to breath...) The 20 amp breaker in the sub-panel was tripped and a check with an ohm meter now shows 170 ohms between the grounded and ungrounded conductors supplying the outlet, which means that the wall will have to be opened and the wiring replaced.

    The AmerTac 73174 unit has two electrical outlets in addition to the night light itself, but nothing was, nor ever had been, plugged into them. The unit has been run continuously for well over a year (I don’t remember exactly when it was purchased)

    The product, in the report: AmerTac Plug In Night Light

    On September 26, 2011, at approximately 7:45 p.m., our 15 year old daughter yelled from the basement, “There’s a fire in the bathroom.”. My wife ran downstairs and saw that the plug in night light in our basement bathroom had an approximately three inch flame shooting up, there was smoke, and there were smoke marks on the walls. My wife grabbed a hand towel and slapped the flames and then blew out the flame.

    I got downstairs to see the nightlight black, charred and slightly melted. Black marks from the smoke were on the bathroom wall above the outlet. The bathroom, and the basement smelled like smoke. The cap to the night light was on the bathroom floor, with the edges black.

    We asked my daughter if she knew what happened. My daughter had been doing homework on our computer in the basement family room, when she said that she heard a “pop”, which sounded like a light bulb had been dropped, so she looked in the bathroom, and she saw the flames coming from the night light.

    After the excitement died down, I removed the night light from the outlet, and I took the cover plate off the outlet. There was no sign of smoke or fire of any kind or type on the outlet or inside the box.

    The night light is a plug in type AmerTac Model 71352. We have the night light and cap in a plastic bag at home

    The product, in the report: night-lights

    We had two nightlights in our children’s bedroom and one had a backpack that had accidently fallen down onto it. It became extremely hot and melted the plastic around the bulb as well as the backpack itself. We forgot we had another one in the room that was the same model and last night my daughter realized that her stuffed bear was up against it. Again, the bear was extremely hot and the plastic is molded around the bulb of the nighlight. The maker of the nightlight is AmerTac and the model # is 71055A. I am very concerned in both cases that a fire could have been started had we not found them when we did.

    The product, in the report: AmerTac Directional Nite Lite - 2 pack. - Compact and Contemporary - Rotates 360ø to direct a pointed beam of light right where you need it - Advanced, no-flicker design Item: 71352 2/pack

    4:30 am, Sunday, July 31, 2011 woke up to a strange smell, few minutes later my boyfriend woke up and stated something was burning. We ran down the hall and tried to turn in the light but no power. The smell was coming strong from my 3 month old daughters room, my boyfriend ran and unplugged the modem thinking this was the cause. The smell was still strong I remembered there was the nite lite located by the door, got a flash light and seen the cover of the nite lite was laying on the floor. Unplugged the nite lite and the inside of nite lite, cover of nite lite, and outlet plate was burnt and melted. It short circuited and shut the power off to our apartment. I then went and unplugged the other nite lite from our room to prevent a fire from starting. Below is the description of nite lite. Have contacted AmerTrac, but have had no response.

    The product, in the report: AmerTac night light

    I returned home from work and found that the AmerTac night light (model 71193) that we had started using in our baby’s room a few days before had caught fire. The unit was partially melted and the fire scorched part of our wall. The fire was small and did not spread, but it was particularly disconcerting because the night light was actually OFF when it caught fire.
