The product, in the report: Homedics model SS-2000A sound spa (white noise machine)

After a year and 8 days, the sound unit started MELTING DOWN under the volume control knob. Fortunate it didn’t start a fire, but did fill the room with acrid fumes. Also, the charging module was nearly too hot to unplug from the wall! This was the second unit of the same model to fail; the other one lasted almost 2 years before the volume knob quit working.

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Re: 20150417-95C1D-2147433653 CPSC Report
To Whom It May Concern,
This letter responds to the notice dated April 28, 2015 regarding a report received by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (hereinafter “the Commission”) on April 17, 2015, which allegedly concerns a HoMedics Sound Spa machine, Model SS-2000.
In the report, the consumer alleges that the sound spa machine “started melting down under the volume control knob” and that “the charging module was nearly too hot to unplug from the wall.” The consumer also stated that the machine was about a year old at the time the incident occurred. No injuries have been alleged. As indicated in the report, the consumer indirectly notified HoMedics about this matter on Facebook and provided a similar account of the incident. HoMedics has since reached out to the consumer and is actively working to resolve this matter to the consumer’s satisfaction. Moreover, the consumer’s wife agreed to return the allegedly defective product to HoMedics for testing and evaluation. HoMedics will continue its investigation of this incident upon receipt of the product.
At this time, our ability to comment on the allegations made in the report is very limited because the allegedly defective product has not yet been tested and evaluated. Moreover, the consumer fails to provide any information, whatsoever, about the circumstances leading up to and surrounding this incident, including information related to the condition of the product prior to use. We are, therefore, unable to definitively determine whether the product was used in accordance with its instructions and warnings. For these reasons, the allegations contained in this complaint are inconclusive.
If the Commission would like a sample of a HoMedics Sound Spa machine, Model SS-2000, please let us know. We would be happy to provide one.

We have a Homedics sound machine (http://www.homedics.com/top-selling/soundspar.html) that we have in our toddler’s room. We play it at night.
Last night, the plug seemed warm to the touch. Turns out, the AC adapter completely broke off at the junction with the plug. It could have easily stqarted a fire.
