The product, in the report: Power Strip
Its 4 AM and three firemen are standing in my bedroom because a faulty power strip has failed in the middle of the night burning a hole in the carpet. Were it not for the acrid smell of burnt wiring the house would have been in flames. Now I keep my power strips on a cookie sheet. I’m done baking for today. It appears that the fire started in the surge protection circuirty beside the rocker switch in the middle. The smell was so pungent it woke us out of a deep sleep.
Forensic disassembly of the powerstrip in the presence of the fire chief showed that the light in the power strip was the source of the fire.
We have images of the unit, and the unit itself.
