    The product, in the report: Portable water heater UPC B08KDJLRQ9

    The consumer used the product twice and there were no issues. This product is designed like a curling wand and it is placed in the water and intended to heat the water.

    The 3rd time she used the product, the wand was in the water for approximately 10 - 15 minutes. She checked the thermometer and found that the wand was heating very slow. When she checked it a 3rd time, the thermometer was at 72 degrees. She pulled the product from the tub and checked it. She placed it back into the tub and left the bathroom.

    A few seconds later, she realized that she left something in the bathroom and went back to get it. She found blue flames emitting from the bathtub. She immediately pull the cord from the electric wall outlet. She observed the product for a couple minutes and indicated that the flames were approximately the size of a softball. The flames died down around 5 minutes or so.

    She used her left hand to grab the product’s plastic handle. She noted that the metal handle is approximately 1 foot long. As soon as she grabbed the plastic, it melted around her left hand. She threw the product into the porcelain sink. Hot plastic dripped onto the toilet. She placed a towel over her hand and called 911.

    Medical technicians came and transported her to Harbor View Medical Center’s ER. The medical staff gave her a cold bag of ice and later admitted her to the Medical facility’s Burn Unit. She sustained 2nd degree burns. The medical staff applied a dressing to her hand and advised her to come back on 2/5/2021, for further evaluation. The consumer was released the same day.

    NOTE: Her pinky finger, ring finger, middle finger and the palm of her hand-up to the thumb area, sustained the most burn damage. The consumer believes that this product should be removed from the market immediately.

    NOTE: There is no company name or brand on the product. The information on it is written in Chinese letters.
