  1. No one hurt

    Made Feb 20, 2012, sent to the company Feb 28, 2012, published by CPSC Mar 20, 2012

    The product, in the report: Candle Warmers Etc. Wax warmer. Black Illumination Fragrance Warmer The model/serial # is SWBL Illumination Warmer. The attached cord is LINHUA SPT-2 18AWG 6A/120 VAC UL listed E231375

    Saw smoke coming from my candle warmer. After turning it off and removing wax holder, it smells like melted.burnt plastic. Inside where the electric cord attaches to the halogen lamp unit, it has a black burnt area. I contacted candle warmers Etc. company and I was told there is no chance of a fire from a candle warmer. I was then told to pick out a new product and return this one to be inspected. I chose one but was told it cost more ($3.00) so I chose another. After hanging up the phone that evening I thought it over more and it angered me first that I was told there was no chance of a fire and secondly, they were more concerned the new product I chose cost $3.00 more. I emailed the company over the weekend and told them how I felt and that the halogen lamps are not safe as they get too hot. I received a call today from the customer service manager [REDACTED] or [REDACTED] (?) and she also said theres no chance of fire. At this point I’m irate and told her anything electrical can catch fire. After arguing with her and telling her I really dont want their product, I told her I was contacting CPSC regarding this. We hung up and I called a fire marshall and he checked it and also said anything electrical can catch fire. He agreed it was too hot and the fire could spread up the cord. Please check into this further. Had I been in the shower or fell asleep, I may not have been here to alert you to this matter.
