The product, in the report: “INTEREX surge-slayer -AYER PS-70A” surge protector/power strip.
Using an “INTEREX surge-slayer -AYER PS-70A” surge protector/power strip. Had been in use for about 1+ years. A small TV and Comcast converter box plugged into it. Both items were turned off and had been off for approximately three weeks. The strip was undisturbed - we were away on vacation. The strip had an internal “melt down”, smoke/soot came out, and caused a direct short to the house power, i.e., it tripped the house circuit breaker serving this line. I retested the strip -- and indeed it has a direct short. [I subsequently opened the unity, i.e., unsrewed the back and indeed there is a burnt blankened part and black soot in unit. I have reassembled the unit and have it available should you wish to inspect it. Note, I checked with neighbors and we had no power disturbances during the time we were on vacation, no power outages or power surges. I have other surge protectors in the house and other things plugged in -- none had any problems. The power strip says it was designed in the USA but made in China
