This driver was plugged in and charging from 9PM until we were awoken at 1:42AM by crackling, sizzling, smoke and smoke alarm ringing due to the driver being on fire, burning the kitchen counter and upper cupboards, which ignited papers, loaf of bread, and bag of chips with smoke filling the kitchen and foyer of our home. Sparks dropped to our hardwood flooring causing burn marks in the flooring. The ceiling and walls have smoke residue.
the driver and cord/plug itself were all on fire. The driver case that was near the driver also caught fire.
This was a very frightening experience and we count our blessings that we are here today to provide these details.
