The product, in the report: Westinghouse model 28426 portable, digital, electronic timer. Putty color. 2 each two prong outlets each side. Timer plugs directly into the wall without a cord.
I was connecting holiday lights on Friday November 24, 2017 when the following product failed.
RE: Westinghouse brand Digital Timer Switch Model 28426. This timer has a 2 prong plug in the back of the product. Prongs can come loose and slide back into the unit or pull out completely, leaving an electrically charged prong in the wall outlet. This could be an electrical shock hazard if a consumer attempts to remove the prong without shutting of the power or if children are using this product.
I can send the product to you or send you a photo if you like.

The product, in the report: Westinghouse 3 outlet, light sensing timer - Outdoor
The product is a Westinghouse 3 outlet, light sensing countdown timer, purchased at Target in Oswego, IL. We plugged our outdoor christmas lights into it, and set the timer for “Dusk Dawn.” In the morning, with the sun already up, we wondered why the lights were still on. Upon closer inspection, we found that the unit was smoking and had melted a hole through itself. We unplugged it immediately.
