The product, in the report: Purple Air power supply model no: RKPO-UL052000C for Purple Air air quality sensor
This is a power supply that came with the Purple Air air quality sensory sold by Purple Air. I was present when the power supply made a “pop” noise accompanied with a blue flash. Then, flames rose out of the unit and scorched the wall of my building. The flames stopped after a few seconds and a small amount of smoke rose out of the unit.
