No one hurt Made Feb 5, 2017, sent to the company Mar 1, 2017, published by CPSC Mar 29, 2017
The product, in the report: As mentioned in my report, it is a car jumper, about the size of a fat smart phone. It has a battery inside that is used to jump your car. It can also be used to charge small electronic devices. It also has a flashlight inside it and an SOS signal feature.
I was given a product as a gift. It did work, once, and then it exploded after sitting in storage. Here are the details... The product is the ENKO Car Jump Starter. It’s a small power source like a battery, a little larger than a smart phone, that can be used to jump a car. I actually used it once to jump my car in 2014. I then put it away in my car, in a box where I keep my emergency tools. Then about a month ago I was cleaning out my car and went through the items in this box of emergency tools. I decided to plug in and recharge the product ahead of a road trip I was about to go on. When I took the product out of the case it comes in I could see it had exploded and the plastic case the battery is housed in had been forced open by the explosion. I was lucky that it did not start a fire, but I am sure it could have. This product was not mis-used in any way or stored incorrectly in any way. It is a product made for on the road car emergencies, which means it should be able to be kept inside a car, which is where it was. It was kept out of the sun and away from direct sunlight. It was not kept outside in direct cold. It was in the case and box it came in, then put inside a plastic box with my emergency road trip items and that was wrapped in a blanket in my car during my cross country trips - WA to NY then NY to WA over a 3 year period. I estimate it exploded some time between November 9th when I last checked it inside my car and January 9th when I took it out and found it had exploded. I still have the item, as I found it. I have not tampered with it. I contacted Enko through their website, a few weeks ago, and told them what happened, but they have not replied. The POB [REDACTED] address I give is my mailing address while I am visiting family in WA. I should be here for most of the year.
