I purchased a Coleman Cable 6 foot 30-Amp 3 Wire Dryer Power Cord from Sears Hardware in Ashland, MA 01721 for my new [REDACTED] dryer. The item was packaged in a plain plastic bag with one warning that it contained lead which might cause cancer and to wash hands after handling. When I plugged it into the dryer wall socket at home, it exploded. I happened to be standing off to the side when I plugged it in. Otherwise, I would have gotten something in the face. The fire department came for safety concerns. I was told that I was lucky I wasn't electrocuted or that the house burned down. The fireman noted that the prongs and plastic wrapping were burned. Obviously, I soon realized that I should never have plugged the plug into the socket without it being grounded. However, a simple warning on the package would have made a great difference. In addition, a hard plastic protective cap would have probably eliminated the danger. The cheap "[REDACTED]" wrap was not sufficient to protect against an accidental explosion. I was extremely lucky. The next person (ex. child) may not be.

I am the manager of [REDACTED]. We are a 246 unit , 18 story high rise . All heat and air in the units are via GE zonelines. Over the past 12 months we have had two spontaneous fires that have originated from the GFI cords.( RAK 3202) Both cords involved in the fires were manufactured in Honduras. There does not seem to be a problem with the actual zonelines and they remain operable after the cords are replaced. I know of the zoneline recall that is presently going on with GE and have 35 units that are a part of that recall in my building. There is no corollation between that recall and these incidents. I am bringing this to your attention as I feel this is a life threatening situation and all GFI cords manufactured in Honduras should be examined for recall. I have one of the cords here at my building and I can be reached at the following addess: [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED]

18-ga lamp cord bought at Lowe's Glenville NY today. Lamp cord is meant to be separated into two insulated wires to allow attachment to (+) and (-) terminals in a lamp/appliance, and in a wall plug. When you separate the two wires, bare wire is exposed along the length where the two split apart. The insulation is too thin, so pulling the wires apart exposes bare copper along the length of the separation. Using the wire in this condition is apt to allow bare wire to come into contact with ungrounded parts of the lamp or appliance. Lowes sells this wire by the foot from bulk spools. [REDACTED]
