The product, in the report: Trion by Fedders. High Efficiency Console Electronic Air Purifier. The manual is labelled 157251-001 6/05 Rev. B.
I have a Trion by Fedders High Efficiency Console Electronic Air Purifier purchased in 2005. The manual is labelled 157251-001 6/05 Rev. B.
I am contacting you because the Air Purifier started to spark and smoke earlier today. My home quickly filled with smoke which, fortunately, set off the smoke detector. When I went upstairs to investigate (the unit is in my master bedroom), I found flames starting to shoot out of the casing, I unplugged the unit.
My wife and have spent most of our day dusting, vacuuming and wiping down surfaces (My wife and I both have asthma). The smoke and black soot has exacerbated our asthma. The house is a mess and smells from the smoke and singed plastic casing.
I have lovingly maintained the pre-filter, charcoal filter and electronic filter, precisely following the manual instructions. I carefully wash the pre-filter and electronic filter on a monthly basis and have replaced the charcoal filter every four months.
Please advise me of any recalls or notifications regarding the safety of this product. I believe it is important to notify other consumers of the problem I encountered despite proper use and maintenance of this product.
Thank you.
