    The product, in the report: Small, white Black & Decker Rice Cooker

    The rice cooker I was using (Black & Decker, RC506) suddenly sparked and blew the kitchen fuse. Upon inspection, the power cord has an approximate 4 inch long burn mark, which leads me to suspect that the rice cooker was at fault (vs my home circuitry or overloading my circuit). It appears that this may pose a fire risk in one’s home.
