The product, in the report: The lamp is a Fluker’s 10-inch Clamp-Lamp. The product number from the box is 27001. It was purchased on 8/25/2011 from Petco in Austin, TX.
This morning when my son’s “Fluker’s” heat lamp for his pet lizard was turned on automatically by a timer, it burst into flames at the point where the cord attached to the lamp. The flames sent burning rubber into the pet’s cage and elsewhere. The heat completely melted the cord, causing it to detach from the lamp body. Had we not been at home at the time to unplug the lamp and deal with the problem, it’s possible a serious fire could have broken out.
The lamp is a Fluker’s Clamp-Lamp. The product number from the box is 27001. It was purchased on 8/25/2011 from Petco in Austin, TX.
