The product, in the report: Power Xcel Micro USB Charging Wire
The consumer indicates that her daughter was charging her cell phone for approximately thirty minutes when the micro USB charging wire it was connected to caught on fire. The consumer’s daughter heard popping sounds and saw sparks flying. As soon as the surge protector the unit was plugged into popped, the fire ceased.
The consumer notes that the micro USB charging wire has a three centimeter burn area, and the surge protector and charging base the unit was connected to were partially blackened from the fire.
The consumer contacted the retailer and explained the situation; the representative she spoke to informed her that the Manager would call her back however she has yet to hear back from them.
The consumer states that the unit was used daily for approximately two hours.
The consumer plans on keeping her unit for at least the next thirty days in case an investigation ensues.

The product, in the report: I would prefer to send pictures.
I bought a device charger at CVS in Galveston, TX and plugged my iPhone into it. Several hours later I found the device partially melted. I returned it to the store and talked to the store manager who said he would show it to his boss who happened to be there. They were out of the chargers but I got a pic of another product made by the same company (the manager showed me) so I could get the company info. I also have pics of the melted charger.
