The product, in the report: Warm steam vaporizer 1.25 gallon
My family returned home from the grocery store, we made it a habit of not leaving any humidifiers plugged in. After turning on the switch, we smelled an acrid burning scent. I ran over to the humidifier and unplugged it quickly. I immediately opened the doors and windows, allowing the smoke to dissipate before setting off the fire and security alarm. I immediately phoned Mainstays who manufactured the product for Walmart and was told the return window was closed and there was nothing they will do about the dangerous product being sold in stores.
