Hurt, no treatment Made Dec 26, 2019, sent to the company Jan 14, 2020, published by CPSC Jan 29, 2020
The product, in the report: Ridgid 25 foot contractor grade indoor/outdoor multi-outlet extension cord 14 gauge. Distributed by Home Depot, Atlanta, Georgia (three plug) Model Ridgid UPC 5684700052
We purchased a Ridgid 25 foot contractor grade indoor/outdoor multi-outlet extension cord (three plug) 14-gauge about six months ago from Home Depot. We had Christmas lights plugged into it for about two weeks. On 12/25/2019 the extension cord made a loud noise and a flame flew out of it and blackened the back of the Christmas sign. Luckily we saw the incident and unplugged the extension cord and the sign did not catch on fire.
