The product, in the report: Utility Heater
We purchased a Patton Utility Heater model PUH680 1500 watt from Wal-Mart approximately 4 months ago and have only used it 10 to 15 hours. The unit started making a hissing noise and started emitting red and white sparks and with a brighter than normal red and orange glow. Thank goodness my wife was near by and turned the unit off and disconnected it from the power source. Had she not been in the room the unit would surely have caught fire and destroyed our home.
