  1. No one hurt

    Made Feb 11, 2014, sent to the company Feb 24, 2014, published by CPSC Mar 11, 2014

    The product, in the report: Westek XP30KC 20-Watt Xenon Accent Light Kit, 3 Pack, Nickel

    Westek XP30KC 20-Watt Xenon Accent Light Kit, 3 Pack, Nickel, a product sold AmerTac on Amazon. I bought the product in Oct. 2013. In Feb, 2014, I noticed a burning smell. I recalled that this set of lights began to dim periodically the week before on its own. Thankfully I checked the lights and found that the plastic was burnt and melted at the transformer junction. I have no doubt that this would have caused a fire had I not noticed it. The product has UL markings on a sticker on the transformer. The product was correctly installed per manufacturer instruction. I have posted a review on Amazon, as well as, a photo of the burnt unit. The company, AmerTac, sells this product on Amazon.
