The product, in the report: Maxxima Wall Switch Replacement Model MEW-PT1800 The MEW-PT800 is a 7 Button Timer control which replaces a conventional wall switch. The load turns off automatically after a pre-set period of time ranging from 1-60 minutes. This device is made for indoor use only.
Maxxima 1875 Watt 7 Button Countdown Timer Switch product #MEW-PT1800. Multiple users, including myself, have found that this product randomly goes to the “on” state while unattended, providing power the attached load. This switch is commonly used in bathrooms to control infrared heating lamps. If the homeowner is away, the infrared lamps will stay on for hours or days, potentially leading to a fire. If connected to a motorized device, the motorized device will start without warning, potentially leading to injury.
