    The product, in the report: VacMaster vacum sealer to store food Model Pro350

    At 2 am dog alerted us, walked into barn and saw the plastic cover on our VacMaster Pro 350 fully engulfed in flames on top of table. The unit was plugged in, but was powered off. The area that the plastic cover was burning is where the heat sealing strip is located, appears that for some reason the heat strip turned on and didn’t shut off and overheated and started the fire
