  1. No one hurt

    Made Mar 12, 2023, sent to the company Mar 15, 2023, published by CPSC Apr 6, 2023

    The product, in the report: Bedside table lamp.

    When I turned on the bedside table lamp to give my disabled wife her medicine, the lamp flickered then started shooting sparks everywhere. I could not reach back to unplugged it do to the sparks from the short. The braker must have trip since the sparks stopped, but the lamp shade had caught on fire. I was able to put the lamp shade fire out before it caught the bed or anything else on fire.
