Hurt, no treatment Made Jun 3, 2015, sent to the company Jun 11, 2015, published by CPSC Jun 25, 2015
The product, in the report: small usb 3.0 micro sd card reader made by lexar model lrwm03u-7000 and the 600x 32gb card they sold with it.
I was using a usb 3.0 card reader built by lexar model LRWM03U-7000 rev A G, and the reader got hotter than usual and smelled of burning plastic. I removed it from the port and it almost blistered my fingers. The reader now is terrible at transferring information but the card is also damaged and slower than before..
This is a dangerous product and i’m sure it would have damaged the card if let plugged in.

Hurt, no treatment Made Dec 23, 2014, sent to the company Jan 8, 2015, published by CPSC Jan 23, 2015
The product, in the report: A very small USB Micro SD card reader
I plugged new Lexar LRWM03u-7000 micro SD card reader into my computer to read a flash card. I waited about 3 minutes for it to read and when nothing happened I removed it from the USB port and smelled plastic burning. I held plastic part which was melted but the metal was super hot and it burned my nose when I went to smell it. I called Lexar who asked me to send it back to them. The reader is worth only a few dollars and they wanted me to pay for the shipping. I was insulted and figured that they would just send me a new one and not really care about recalling them. So I decided to hold on to it in case you wanted me to send it to you. I feel it is an unsafe product and should be looked at. If I had walked away it may have shorted the computer and or started a fire on my bed. The metal was hot enough to burn my skin.
