The product, in the report: Fellowes PS60C-2 paper shredder
I own a Fellowes PS60C-2 paper shredder. I don’t use it too much these days but I use to use it for light home office duties and have loved it. I’ve owned this shredder for maybe 6 or 7 years (honestly, I forget exactly when I had bought it). Over the past year or so I noticed that it would sometimes not shut off after shredding something, and I’d have to turn the power switch off then back on again. That was annoying but not that big of a deal.
The other night, I was woken up in the middle of the night by an odd sound. It roused me out of bed and I found that the shredder had spontaneously turned itself on, the motor was running and it was beginning to overheat and smoke. I worry that had I not heard the noise that it might have caught on fire!! I’m now afraid to even have it plugged in for fear that it’s going to burn my house down!

Emergency room Made Aug 22, 2011, published by CPSC Sep 20, 2011
The product, in the report: Confetti Cut Shredder with Basket
Friday, August 19, 2011, fire reported to 911 at 10:06 hours by the fire alarm monitoring company. The structure was a two story apartment building, located at [REDACTED]. The fire originated in one of the apartments on the second floor of [REDACTED]. The fire room sustained moderate fire damage. The remainder of the second floor of B-Wing sustained minor smoke damage. Two of the sprinkler heads in the fire room activated and extinguished the fire. The loss value of the structure was approximately $400,000. The loss value of the contents was approximately $280,000. The cause of the fire was classified as accidental. It resulted when an unspecified failure in a paper shredder caused sufficient heat to ignite the paper inside. The single occupant was in the apartment at the time of the fire. He was transported for a minor burn on his finger. Another occupant was transported because of chest pains.
