First aid Made Jan 8, 2023, sent to the company Jan 11, 2023, published by CPSC Jan 26, 2023
The product, in the report: Product is exactly the same as the one found at [REDACTED]. Black LED headlamp, TL900, lithium battery powered, with recharging cable and transformer, charging port behind battery compartment that is housed in unit strapped at back of the head and the lamp with telescopic lens triple-strapped for forehead positioning. Battery compartment has a rubber seal enclosure. Lithium battery measures about 2-3/4” long.
My friend, [REDACTED], was wearing Primitive Survivors TL900 headlamps when the lithium battery exploded into flames. He quickly yanked them off of his head, but the headlamp burned his hand, and when he dropped it on the floor of his camper, it set on fire the floor of his camper, which he stamped out. He has been unsuccessful getting a response from the company, so, because he does not have a computer, I sent them a message. I believe that in light of the sheer danger of this product, which remains on sale online (presumably on an associated merchant website) through [REDACTED]). I believe the risk is too great to allow the merchants and makers of this product to sell anymore of these, and that at least a conditional recall be issued promptly before someone suffers a potentially life-threatening head injury, and/or property damage such as a structural fire.
