The product, in the report: Fenix head lamp with light purple/dark purple band, adjustable strap, two lights, 3 modes
My daughter was using a headlamp during play. Didnt realize it was still on and placed on our new sofa. We noticed burning and a smell. Noticed the headlamp was on for only a few seconds and a hole was burned into our couch the size of pencil eraser. The headlamp was EXTREMELY HOT!

No incident, no one hurt Made Sep 30, 2021, sent to the company Oct 4, 2021, published by CPSC Oct 19, 2021
The product, in the report: Fenix E35 V3.0 EDC (Everyday Carry) with ARB-L21-5000U USB-C Rechargeable 5000mAh 21700 Battery. Model E35 V3.0 EDC
Product is the Fenix E35 flashlight.
I use this product for work and on all occasions happened to be wearing heavy duty/thick work pants. On three occasions the Fenix E35 flashlight was in the “locked” position in my pocket. The flashlight managed to get out of the locked position and turned on to the highest/brightest setting inside my pocket. Sometimes I noticed faint smoke smells followed by faint, but visible wisps of smoke. The first two times this happened, I thought it was my laptop running hot. As soon as I realized the flashlight was causing the smoke, I pulled the flashlight out and it was on. The lighted end of the flashlight was too hot to touch and caused my pants to smoke slightly. No burn spots on my pants or pockets.
The product does have a symbol indicating the end can get hot, but the concern is how the lock feature failed.
There is potential for injury (burns) and significant property damage (fire). This did not cause injury.
