As each report says it, in short words; CPSC’s own words are under each.

The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

    Made Mar 9, 2019, sent to the company Mar 18, 2019, published by CPSC Apr 1, 2019

    The product, in the report: It is a wifi extender that just plugs into a wall outlet. It’s about 3 inches by 3 inches or a white square with rounded corners.

    The wifi extender caught on fire. It was working for fine for one month. After that it constantly connected and disconnected from the router. It caught fire today while being plugged into the wall outlet by itself in the hallway. The product did not last 7 months. Luckily my ten year old son saw it and unplugged it before it spread. This should not happen for $59.99.

    The product, in the report: Wireless-N 150 USB Adapter

    My parents had a Netgear Wireless-N 150 USB adapter. S/N 272106BS1C6BE. Somtime during the day on December 26, 2011, the device had heated up and melted some of the plastic covering on both sides near the USB adapter port. Contacted Netgear customer support regarding the device melting and I was advised it was out of warranty. I wanted to notify them of the incident. I had no intention of asking for a replacement wireless adapter. The customer service representative did not appear concerned.
