The product, in the report: Walmart LED automatic nite light-- sold in packs of 4
I have been buying these nite lights at Walmart for a couple years. They come in packs of 4. They are automatic (turn on when the room is dark), and they have LED “bulbs”. One of them, during daylight, when plugged into a bathroom GFCI outlet, burst into flames and caused a small fire. This was in broad daylight, and no one was home. Fortunately, it did not spread, and went out on its own, but it was obvious that it had actually burst into flames. I have the melted light remnants, and took pictures. Much black soot, and the wood below the light was burned by falling melted plastic. I checked the circuit, and the GFCI circuit breaker had NOT popped, and it tested fine afterward. Luckily, no one was hurt. Looked like a manufacturing defect. First trouble (and the LAST!) I had with these types of lights.
