The product, in the report: Zgear iPhone wall charger. No marking or brand name on outside of item.
Purchased a Zwave iPhone charger product code 70189009788. My wife was charging her I phone plugged into a short 3- Prong extension cord. Charger overheated causing a small fire that damaged the wall in our living room, the couch, and some window treatments. No one was injuring from this event.
I can supply photos, the extension cord, and AC adapter upon request.
This incident caused around $500 damage, which is below the deductible of my insurance policy.
