No incident, no one hurt Made Sep 16, 2026, sent to the company Sep 21, 2026, published by CPSC Oct 5, 2026
The product, in the report: Pelonis window air conditioner for residential use. The unit plugs into a standard household wall outlet and has a power cord equipped with a safety/protection device. While the air conditioner was operating, the plug/outlet connection overheated severely and the electrical receptacle melted.
A Pelonis window air conditioner was being used in my home when the electrical outlet and the air conditioner’s plug/cord connection became extremely hot and melted, causing significant heat damage to the receptacle and surrounding components. The damage created a potential electrical/fire hazard.
The air conditioner had been plugged directly into the wall outlet and was being used normally. I am concerned that the unit’s electrical safety protection did not interrupt power before the plug and outlet overheated to this extent.
Fortunately, no one was injured and there was no larger house fire. However, the amount of melting and heat damage was significant, and I am reporting the incident because of the potential risk of fire or injury to other consumers using the same product.
