    The product, in the report: Heater

    The consumer indicates he turned his heater on and approximately ten minutes later, he smelled something burning in his shop. Upon looking around, the consumer noticed that it was coming from his heater as there was smoke emitting from it. The consumer unplugged his unit and noticed that the plastic side covers as well as the wiring has started melting.

    The consumer contacted the retailer and explained the situation; he was advised to take photographs and mail the unit back to them so they can investigate the issue.

    The consumer states that the heater is used a couple of hours daily four months out of the year.

    The consumer is unsure if he will keep his unit for at least the net thirty days.
