The product, in the report: 8ft Outdoor extension cord 16awg UL listed 450 watt surge peak weatherproof
Woods International 8ft outdoor extension cord with a three outlet power block melted and eventually shorted out the fuse. Resetting the fuse caused the outlet to heat up and continue melting the cord, causing singeing to the garage. This seems to be an issue when I checked the Target website. http://www.target.com/p/8-ft-outdoor-extension-cord-with-power-block-green/-/A-12874807#prodSlot=medium_1_7&term=Woods+International
