As each report says it, in short words; CPSC’s own words are under each.

The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

    The product, in the report: Hotel HVAC unit

    On 9-27-2018 at about 0348 hours I responded to [REDACTED] to investigate a fire in room [REDACTED]. Upon my investigation I found the fire originated in a wall HVAC unit. The fire was contained to the room of origin but significant smoke was on floors 3 through 12. I found that the HVAC unit malfunctioned igniting the combustibles where the heating elements were located. I spoke to the lone occupant of the unit. He told me he was chilled so he turned the unit to make it warmer when it started sparking and smoking. He called maintenance to report the unit. The unit then burst into flames. No one was injured.
