First aid Made Aug 1, 2016, sent to the company Aug 9, 2016, published by CPSC Aug 23, 2016
The product, in the report: Monster Power PowerCenter PC700
Power strip has been used for a few years now, powering a laptop computer, computer speakers, a monitor, network switch, and adding machine.
Today, a coworker sat down at the laptop only to notice that it was almost out of battery power. Looked down and saw the power strip appeared to be in the OFF position. Tried turning the switch on and sparks and flames started shooting out of it. This only ended when the building’s 20A circuit breaker for that receptacle tripped.
User suffered minor burns.
