Emergency room Made Sep 8, 2026, sent to the company Sep 14, 2026, published by CPSC Sep 28, 2026
The product, in the report: Honeywell wall tap surge protector- with 5 AC Outlets and 2 USB Ports. (HW-WC036-199W)
My spouse was installing a brand new Honeywell wall tap surge protector (HW-WC036-199W) and was electrocuted. It fried, popped the breaker, and gave him enough of a shock that he had to go to the emergency room. He experienced altered mental status, chest pains, migraine, and muscle spasms after the incident happened. He was just trying to install it, a simple plug it in, and I think it has a screw that secures it. I included the model/serial number of the product earlier in this message. We have used Honeywell products all the time, never had issues with them. We were very surprised by this incident and we wanted to make sure this does not happen to anyone else.
