The product, in the report: Surge strip. Magnavox
I recently replaced one of my surge strips. The strip I replaced was older, and it was recommended to me that I replace any surge strips made prior to 2004. The strip was a Magnavox, model: m62949(p10015) E14544 The date code on the strip is 03.98c. The strip was working when I replaced it, and this was done solely because of the units age and the recommendation that older strips be replaced. I decided to take the old strip apart, mainly to recycle the plastic shell but also to see the setup and innards. Upon unscrewing the plastic shell, and separating the two halves I was shocked to see the inside covered in soot around the electronic parts/switch. The strip is beige so the black soot is very noticeable. Upon closer inspection I found what appears to originally have been blue, round, and what appears to be the MOV to have a hole in the center and covered in soot. It looks as though the mov either exploded or caught fire. Clearly something you do no want to see. I am glad it was not worse, but it easily could have been. There was no indication that there was any damage to the unit. The unit even has a reset switch, but it gave no hint that anything was wrong.
