    The product, in the report: Vivitar (Sakar International) Wireless Headphones (Features: compatible with bluetooth enabled devices, play/pause/answer calls - rechargeable battery; DPCI #234-01-0225; Item #BH-TE22-DG; SKU 6 8106604293 9; MID # 1110921

    On Saturday, 5/7/22 at 7:45 am, I unboxed a brand new pair of Vivitar (Sakar International) Wireless Headphones and plugged the provided USB charging cord into my USB charging station. I walked away and 2-3 minutes later, I smelled smoke seemingly coming from an electrical fire. The manufacturer provided cord overheated and was melting/smoldering/smoking. I quickly unplugged the charger at the wall, then grabbed the headphones from the headphones, careful not to touch the smoldering cord.
