The product, in the report: Wire connector
The consumer and his family were watching a movie in a dim area of his home. He saw an orange flash come from the bathroom where the switch was. He compared the flash to when a light bulb goes out, except that the color was orange, not blue. The consumer heard popping noises come from the switch.
The consumer thought that the circuit breaker was tripped because when the incident happened because the lights inside of the bathroom were off; however, the power was still live. The switch plate was removed and burned twister wire nut was found.
The connector was installed by contractor Electrical Services Unlimited Monrovia, MD @ 301-874-8500 before the consumer moved into his home.
There are no injuries to report.
There are no known property damages other than the switch.
The consumer does not have any intentions on contacting the manufacturer because he does not have an issue with the product. He does intend on contacting the contractor who installed the connector. The contractor did come to the house 2 days later to repair the switch.
