The product, in the report: Target LED Flashlights -- set of 6
We put batteries in the flashlights and my dtr left it on the step (not sure if it was on or off) in the living room. We started smelling something hot and realized it was the flashlight which had started to smoke and melt. The carpet it was on was hot. We were getting ready to leave and I believe that if we had not noticed this prior to leaving the house we would have had a house fire!!
