The product, in the report: 20 in. Freestanding Electric Fireplace Stove Heater in Black with Vintage Glass Door Realistic Flame and Logs
This is an electric heater used to warm up our bedroom. I walked into the bedroom and smelled burning plastic. I found the plug at the outlet was very hot and melting the plastic of the plug and outlet. This is the second time this has occurred with this product. Last year I noted that the electrical cord was getting hot and took the heater back to home depot for an exchange.
