I went to the [REDACTED] hospital a few days later, and received treatment for smoke inhalation, and was diagnosed with other injuries.

    The product, in the report: 2000w Laboomkey water heater

    My wife bought a product from Amazon called Laboomkey 2000 watt immersion heater. I used it to heat a bucket of water for my dog in the bathroom. I plugged it in the wall and waited. After around 5 minutes it shot out of the bucket and landed on to a pile of clothes in the closet. The clothes immediately ignited, and my whole closet started burning. The fire department was called, and extinguished the fire. I spent 8 hours cleaning up, and suffered a burnt right hand, whiplash, and spinal injury with herniated discs and sciatica. As it was propelled out of the bucket it scalded my hand, and during cleanup lifting for 8 hours water soaked items I damaged my back. I have official fire reports from fireman that saw the item burnt up and plugged in. I also have been suffering with back pain, and am unable to complete my physical test for Law enforcement. I do have MRI, and extensive doctor reports stating this. I would like to help as many people so this never happens to them.
