The product, in the report: Milwaukee M12 Heated Gear Jacket, Color Black, Size Large
I was wearing the Milwaukee M12 heated jacket with the battery drained empty, intact, and off. This occurred at my work in the freezer, at about negative 15 degrees. First, I smelt indications of a fire, but thought nothing of it. Next a co-worker about 10 feet next to me acknowledged that I was in flames. I quickly took off the jacket and at this point, I managed to put out the flame by shaking the coat. The battery, which had caught on fire, had melted the battery pocket in which I had to cut open with a knife in order to get the battery disconnected. When disconnecting the battery sparks continued to combust, but I successfully disconnected the battery and secluded it to a safe and confined area. Fortunately, I was unharmed. Also the coat was a recent purchase within the past 5 months and had NEVER been washed.
