The product, in the report: Bionaire BFH5000-UM Electric Fireplace Heater with Remote Control
Purchased heater in Nov 2011 from Amazon.con. Have been using during winter months each year since without issue. This morning, turned unit on after being off for 12+ hours. Within several minutes, unit burst into flames for no reason. I unplugged unit and extinguished fire with fire extinguisher. Very scary.
