The product, in the report: Head mounted magnifier with lights
I purchased a headmounted magnifier with lights made by John Bead Company (Canada). As soon as I inserted the battery, the device began smoking immediately. This indicates a likely internal electrical short. The product poses a fire and burn hazard.
