How badly anyone was hurt

  • No one hurt 1 CPSC: Incident, No Injury

As each report says it, in short words; CPSC’s own words are under each.

The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. No one hurt

    Made Nov 9, 2011, sent to the company Nov 18, 2011, published by CPSC Dec 5, 2011

    The product, in the report: HOME SECURITY DVR WITH 8 CAMERAS

    We purchased a security dvr with 8 cameras. One of the wires included has 8 power connectors for the cameras. If you don’t use all 8 cameras and one of the connectors touches the back metal plate of the dvr, it causes sparks. It also causes sparks when they were connected for the first time too.

    We called [REDACTED] at the company of distributues the item and explained it to him. He said it sounded normal and to put some electrical tape on the un-used connectors.

    It is not normal.
