The product, in the report: Toshiba AC Adapter Model PA-1650-21 for use with Toshiba Portege R835-P56X laptop computer.
I’ve had my Toshiba Portege R835-P56X laptop for roughly 10 months. About a week ago I noticed the AC adapter/power cord was being sensitive when I connected it to charge (sometimes I had to rotate it slightly). It is the original cord from when I purchased the laptop Model # PA-1650-21. Today, May 30, 2012, while sitting here with the laptop plugged in, the cord began smoking and shooting sparks approximately 1.5 inches from the end where it plugs into my laptop. I’m talking real sparks and a lot of smoke out of no where. I immediately removed the adapter from my laptop, however it continued to spark until I unplugged it from my wall outlet. Had I not been there and left my laptop charging this would have definitely started a fire. I’ve read the reviews on the Toshiba power cords and how many have stated the inferior quality and short length of use they get from them, but after what’s just happened I’m genuinely concerned. I bought this laptop because of the rave reviews it got from several credible web sites.

Hurt, no treatment Made Jan 9, 2012, sent to the company Jan 18, 2012, published by CPSC Feb 1, 2012
The product, in the report: Toshiba Satellite Laptop AC adaptor
The ac adaptor for our Toshiba Satellite laptop is overheating to the point of burning your skin when touched. It is so hot, we immediately unplugged it and called Toshiba. They advised us that this is a safety issue and we should not use the ac adaptor again. However, they refused to replace it and recommended we purchase a replacement because it is outside of the warranty period. (This computer was purchased in December 2009.).
We discovered the problem by accident when my daughter was watching a movie on her computer on her bed and we realized it was too hot to even touch. Obviously a fire risk.
