The product, in the report: Lenovo 230w charger for a Lenovo Legion laptop

My Lenovo 230 watt charger melted today. It did not catch on fire, or if it did, it was out before I noticed it, but the plastic was noticeably melted, and the metal component of the plug in the “brick” part of the charger came loose and was attached to the other piece of the charger by melted plastic. I tried to report it to Lenovo and they said “melting is not unexpected after more than two years of use”. I called Lenovo again to give them one more chance before I reported it here, spoke to a sales representative and said I’d called to report that my charger melted and he said “Is that it?” and hung up

The company’s comments, in its own words

(9/25/2018) Lenovo: At Lenovo, safety is our number one priority, and we are concerned with any report of a safety issue involving our products.
Upon learning of the alleged incident, Lenovo immediately initiated an investigation. We have been in contact with the Submitter of the Report in an effort to obtain the subject hardware so that we can (1) verify that a Lenovo product was, in fact, involved in the alleged incident; (2) gather additional information and investigate the facts and circumstances surrounding the alleged incident, and (3) analyze the hardware to determine the cause of failure (if any) and (4) determine what, if any, corrective actions may be appropriate in the circumstances.
We have been in communication with the Submitter of the Report, and have received the subject hardware for analysis. Based on the examination of the hardware, it has been confirmed that any localized arcing that may have occurred would have generated only a small amount of heat and noise. Any such arcing would have been fully contained by the UL certified insulated enclosure. There was no indication of heating or melting on the surrounding plastic cover. Therefore, any failure that may have occurred happened in a safe manner. Based on our investigation, we have been also able to determine that the reported device model is not within scope of any current Lenovo product recall.
We will continue to work with the Submitter of the Report and CPSC to take any additional corrective measures that may be required. We have provided the Submitter of the Report with direct contact information for the Lenovo representatives assigned to this matter so that any further questions or concerns regarding the subject hardware may be addressed quickly by Lenovo directly.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(3/17/2017) Lenovo: At Lenovo, safety is our number one priority, and we are concerned with any report of a safety issue involving our products.
Upon learning of the alleged incident, Lenovo immediately initiated an investigation. We have been in contact with the Submitter of the Report in an effort to obtain the subject hardware so that we can (1) verify that a Lenovo product was, in fact, involved in the alleged incident; (2) gather additional information and investigate the facts and circumstances surrounding the alleged incident, and (3) analyze the hardware to determine the cause of failure (if any) and (4) determine what, if any, corrective actions may be appropriate in the circumstances.
Based on our initial investigation, we have been able to determine that the reported device model is not within scope of any current Lenovo product recall, and we have received no previous reports of other incidents involving this model.
While we have been in communication with the Submitter of the Report, we have not yet been able to obtain the subject hardware for analysis.
Our initial investigation also indicates that, based on the bar code information provided in the Report, the subject adapter does not appear to be an authentic Lenovo part, but we will continue our efforts to work with the Submitter of the Report so that we can ascertain additional information and evaluate the alleged failure to determine whether any corrective action may be required.
We have provided the Submitter of the Report with direct contact information for the Lenovo representatives assigned to this matter so that she may contact Lenovo directly with regard to any further questions or concerns regarding the subject hardware.
