First aid Made Jun 12, 2020, sent to the company Jun 29, 2020, published by CPSC Jul 21, 2020
The product, in the report: Cords Of Steel [REDACTED] charging cable, metal, 3 feet long.
The product is a Cord Of Steel metal phone charger for [REDACTED].
It was plugged in to charge a phone, where it has been for the past year without incident. There had been no damage to the cord, and nothing was done differently than any other night. My wife went to plug her phone in, and the cord sparked from the middle, and got red hot, causing my wife to drop it to the floor. After hitting the floor, the cord sparked one more time, before exploding and catching fire. The explosion happened in the middle of the cord, and sent pieces of red hot metal across the room, melting my carpet and causing spot fires outside of the main fire where the cord is.
Due to the cord being completely metal, if the middle of the cord is on fire the rest of it will be red hot. Unfortunately I was not able to pull the cable out of the wall without grabbing the cord, and was burned on my hands pulling it from the wall. Luckily they were small burns and did not require medical attention. After the cord was unplugged from the wall, I was able to douse the cord with a heavy blanket and put out the main fire. The piece of shrapnel that followed the explosion landed about 4 feet away, and was still red hot when I used pliers and a knife to cut out my carpet and remove the piece that was smoldering in the foam carpet pad.
The cord was plugged into an indoor certified extension cord, with 1 other item (a lamp) plugged into that as well. There were no problems with the lamp, nor the extension cord.
