The product, in the report: Hand held flashlight

I turned on the LuxProxp900 flashlight, it didn’t come in, so I clicked again. I set it down on my kitchen counter and within 30 seconds it exploded. It shot off like gun shots and filled my home with thick white smoke. It burned my counter and spots on the floor in front of it. It was a horrible experience. I have contacted the company and they immediately had me send the flashlight back for them to do a discovery on it. They have not. They just wanted to send me a check for $500.00 and sign a release. I feel that this is a very dangerous flashlight. It could have exploded in my hand or face.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(6/5/2017) SIMPLE PRODUCTS CORPORATION: Simple Products Corp received this complaint and immediately took action to rectify the situation with the customer. This is the first complaint we have received of this nature on any of our products including the XP900. This particular light has been on the market since 2013. This flashlight is a tactical flashlight designed for specialty use. It has an excellent track record for safety and functionality. The images from the customer indicate her flashlight may have experienced the swelling of lithium batteries. Many factors can cause batteries to swell and become defective such as replacing OEM batteries with lower quality brands, exposing the batteries to moisture, allowing the batteries to overheat, short circuiting the batteries, etc. All of which are not covered under any of our warranties. This customer was contacted immediately and every attempt to satisfy their concern was made. From the customer supplied images, it appears the batteries may have swollen, become defective and very hot. The swelling likely caused the flashlight to “pop” the glass lens and/or the button. Images of the light do not indicate the very unlikely event of an explosion. This customer submitted a request for payment of certain cleaning and reparations to her home. Most of those reparations were likely unrelated to the flashlight heating up. Every attempt was made to satisfy this customer and rectify the unverified damage. As standard practice, Simple Products makes every attempt to identify fraud and especially insurance fraud. Evidence exists in the form of photographs from a prior sale of her home that show the claimed damage in fact existed years prior to the incident. We are investigating. With regards to the flashlight, batteries, and potential problems, this light was discontinued prior to this customer contacting us and is being replaced with a newer model. Thermal sensors are included in some of our lights to avoid the potential hazard of overheating. We are expanding this new programming to include more products. Customer service is extremely important to us as is evidenced by the immensely positive customer responses we have on-line and off-line. Thank you!
