No one hurt Made Jul 18, 2013, sent to the company Jul 26, 2013, published by CPSC Aug 16, 2013
The product, in the report: Enercell Micro USB AC Charger Cat. No.: 2301775 Input: 100-240V ~ 50/60Hz 0.15A Output: 5v --- 1.2A Efficiency Level V
I Was charging my [REDACTED] with a Enercell Micro usb AC charger when my fiance went to sleep. The charger is right behind the bed and had worked fine for a month or so in that location. I was staying up late and left my Fiance in the bedroom to sleep. I went into the bedroom about 8 hours later myself to go to bed and smelt plastic. I checked behind the bed where the charger was and my hand bushed up against it immediately giving me a small burn. I Unplugged the device instantly and found the device had begun to melt exposing metal (which is what burned me) as well as begging to catch the bed my fiance was sleeping on fire (It was smoldering). This is INCREDIBLY unsafe. The melting is prominent on the top of the top left corner of the device ( with the cord also to the left). It extends out to the N in the text Enercell on the device. Melted plastic and metal is clearly visible where the melting occurred and my bed has melted plastic as well as a hole in it from the heat.
