    The product, in the report: Table top Dimmer switch

    Consumer stated that when she picked the dimmer up, it was extremely hot. The dimmer had been in use for approximately 20 mins, she smelled an odor of electrical fire, she turned it over and noticed that the black casing had melted, she immediately unplugged it to prevent further damages.

    Consumer stated that earlier on that day the switch was not working properly so she changed the bulb thinking it was the bulb.

    Consumer has not been able to reach the company as yet.

    Consumer feels that the dimmer is a fire hazard and should be reported.
