The product, in the report: Electrical Outlet Wall Plate Cover - Stainless Steel with no visible Screws (front plate clips over a back plate that is screwed onto the outlet).
Our Kitchen outlets are covered with Allen + Roth Linden stainless steel wall plates. One of the plates has been slightly loose apparently - the little clips that hold the face plate to the wall portion are apparently loose and allow it to be easily knocked off... Fri. 2/10/2017 my wife went to plug something into that outlet, and the face plate fell as she touched it, dropping onto the partially plugged in appliance. Luckily the GFCI breaker tripped and no injury occurred, but there is a clear burn mark on the plate and outlet. When I found the information indicating the plates were recalled I was disappointed to learn I will have to not only replace all 8 outlet plates, but will have to follow an “approval” process to even get a box to return the actual plates and then a refund will depend on whether the company decides to send one or not? Seems I should have been able to return these to Lowes for a full refund (over $100) even now, and let them deal with the supplier en-mass rather than me having to deal with them!

The product, in the report: Liberty Brushed Stainless Outlet Cover
While unplugging an item from an outlet that had the outlet cover on it, sparks flew out of the outlet, the plate cover was blown across the room (approx. 8 feet), the circuit threw and the power in the entire kitchen was blown out. I was shocked (electrically - my hand and arm were numb for hours) and knocked backward. I hit the floor and hurt my ankle/foot (I found out a few months later that it was actually a fracture after many doctor visits, x-rays and wearing an air-cast for 6 weeks I still have problems with the ankle swelling. However, I feel extremely lucky that I wasn’t electrocuted/killed.). I had taken pictures and showed them to some of my co-workers (I work for an electric power utility) and family members to get their opinion on what the problem may be (unfortunately I lost those pictures). They were as astonished as I was and couldn’t believe I wasn’t seriously injured or killed. I have had one person out to change the outlet and that did not resolve the problem. I was told it will most likely require rewiring the affected line an possibly the entire kitchen. I received the recall letter on the outlet cover a few weeks ago, a little late for me, but, it all makes sense now.

The product, in the report: 110 volt dual outlet cover
After installing Allen & Roth Linden wall plate covers in two rooms, a picture fell off the wall, hitting the outlet cover. This caused a spark and the area around the outlet was singed. The outlet cover was removed and the old outlet cover was returned to use.
