The product, in the report: Patriot Power Generator
May, 13, 2016
To: Consumer Products Safety Commission From: [REDACTED] Re: Patriot Power Generator Recall
To Whom It May Concern:
Attached please find pdf scans showing that I purchased a Patriot Power Generator from Patriotpowergenerator.com a.k.a. Power4Patriots. They indicate their mailing address as: POB 121709, Nashville, TN 37212, with phone number 800-680-8504.
On November 15, 2014 I purchased a Patriot Power Generator for a price of $1997.00. This unit is a battery-powered rechargeable power generator that can be recharged either by pre-charging it using an AC outlet OR with the included solar panels. The unit arrived in what I believed to be normal working condition & was then stored after completing an initial battery charge as directed by the enclosed instructions. I did not use the generator after the initial charge. I have not been physically injured by the product.
On February 24, 2016 I received both an email & mailed letter indicating that the referenced generator was being recalled because the lithium batteries posed a fire hazard. The seller’s communications advised that they are cooperating with the manufacturer (Lekker, LLC of Lindon, Utah) as they implement a recall with the Consumer Products Safety Commission. I contacted the seller with my serial number & they confirmed that my generator was included on the recall list. They then advised me that they would contact me soon to arrange for return of the unit for a full refund & that the return shipping would be at no charge to me. During the initial call I advised the seller that the shipping box arrived with multiple slashes, thereby preventing me from returning it in the original shipping box. I also advised that I had found a very sturdy box and packing material that would be more than adequate for the return. They advised that they would be responsible for all aspects of the return, including shipping costs & providing a box if necessary.
When I had not heard back from the seller by the first week of May, I called the number they provided. During that call, I received conflicting information from the seller’s customer service representative. The responses included that the CPSC was still processing the recall, then I was told that the CPSC needed to give them authorization to have the units shipped back to the seller.
As the seller’s customer service representative seemed to be confused in her responses, I asked to speak with a manager. I was advised that a manager from the seller’s company would call me back within 48 hours. To date, I have not heard back from anyone associated with the seller. Instead they mailed me a complimentary packet of instant coffee, while apologizing for the ongoing delay.
A few days ago I called the CPSC. The CPSC representative was very helpful. She first checked into the recall & was unable to find any such matter either under the seller or manufacturer’s names. She then advised me to send this email, including scans of any documentation associated with the purchase of the generator & the recall. The names that the CPSC representative investigated included: Patriotpowergenerator.com; Power4Patriots; Lekker, [REDACTED]. I also later noticed the name of [REDACTED] of Shenzhen, China.
I would appreciate your help to resolve this matter. My goal is to return the unit at no cost to me & the seller should also provide me with a full refund. I would NOT be interested in any type of repair or exchange as I no longer have faith in the seller.
Sincerely, [REDACTED] Telephone: [REDACTED] Email [REDACTED]
