The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. First aid

    Made Aug 28, 2012, sent to the company Sep 12, 2012, published by CPSC Sep 26, 2012

    The product, in the report: Super Switch, manufactured by King Sound Enterprise Co., LTD for Blackstone International, LTD. The product consists of 3 outlet adapters and a remote control unit which enables the on off switching of the electric at an outlet via remote control. I have had the unit for about a year but it has only been in use for approximately 6 months. This past weekend i was in my garage where the unit was controlling a light fixture through an outlet, the light started flickering when i inspected the plug the Super Switch unit was glowing orange with an internal fire. I quickly yanked the unit out of the outlet and burned my hand on melted plastic. I do not intend to be overly dramatic but had i not been in the room while this happened i believe there is a very high risk that there could have been a catastrophic outcome. I have found absolutely no way to contact either King sound or Blackstone in regards to reporting the safety issue or pursuing reimbursement.
