How badly anyone was hurt

  • No one hurt 2 CPSC: Incident, No Injury

As each report says it, in short words; CPSC’s own words are under each.

The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. No one hurt

    Made Nov 29, 2021, sent to the company Dec 1, 2021, published by CPSC Dec 15, 2021

    The product, in the report: WIFI SMART PLUG

    I was using a WiFi Smart plug made by BN LINK to control a 1500 watt resistive heater. Apparently the plug over heated, failed and in the process burned through the back side. Fortunately, I had it plugged into an all metal outlet so no further damage was done.

  2. No one hurt

    Made Nov 18, 2021, sent to the company Dec 14, 2021, published by CPSC Dec 29, 2021

    The product, in the report: BN-LINK Wireless Remote Control Outlet Switch Power Plug In for Household Appliances, Wireless Remote Light Switch, LED Light Bulbs, White (1 Remotes + 3 Outlets) 1200W/10A

    Two of the three control sockets were used. Both of them melted. Each control socket was plugged into an outlet that controlled a bank of LED lights. Each bank of lights contained eight 16.5 watt LED lights (dimmable).

    Electricity was on this circuit for only a few hours each Sunday prior to and during worship services.

    After use during no more than 10 worship services, they stopped working. Because the lights and controllers were in the ceiling we could not observe that they melted.

    We note many reviews for this product on Amazon note that the controllers got hot and stopped working. It appears the company is aware of this (as they replied immediately to our Amazon review) and continues to sell a dangerous product.

    When we began this process, in mid-October, the company name (on Amazon site) was BN-LINK, Inc. Checking again in mid-November, the company name is Century Products, Inc. The listed address and phone number remain the same.

    A photo of the melted controllers is included in this packet.
