I am writing to the CPSC to help me resolve a situation with a faulty product sold by Home Depot that may have ended in tremendous property damage and loss of my life. I purchased a Himalayan Lamp below at the Home Depot Coney island store in Brooklyn Ny Manufacturer: WBM International Model: 1500B- Product Name: Himalayan Glow Pink Salt Lamp Serial Number: 185810127. The lamp was on a table in my living room plugged in but not on. I was leaving my apartment and came back in to get something I had forgotten. I smelled burning plastic and saw that the switch on the lamp had shorted and had just gone on fire. Further investigation led me to discover that Salt Lamps produce large amounts of water when switch is not turned on when outside humidity is high ( my window was open ). My lamp was plugged in and the water streamed down where the lamp switch was. It short circuited, started burning and went on fire. There was water on the surrounding floor below the lamp. The apt would have gone up in flames and if this was at night when I was sleeping in the back room, there would have been no escape as I am on the 10th floor. I explained this in detail several times to [REDACTED], resolution expeditor at Home Depot whom my email had been forwarded to after I emailed the CEO. She inquired with intertek (ETL) the certifier of the lamp but they have stated there is no inherent danger. The certifier wasnt going to admit there was something wrong because they do not want any liability so they reaffirmed its safety. They have a clear conflict of interest. Home depot should not blindly accept a certifier's reaffirmed safety rating when they are liable. The lamp must be labeled to be unplugged when not in use. A question remains -will the heat of the bulb when plugged in fully evaporate the moisture that comes out if its really humid? At a minimum it must be labeled appropriately. [REDACTED] was satisfied with the assessment giving no extra thought. Was she

The consumer wants to express his concerns as his halogen lamp failed at the round post of the lamp failed where the post hits the base. The consumer has no idea as to how this may have happened and found the lamp was standing at an angle. The consumer stated that the lamp was off at the time, but fears if the lamp was on it may have caused a home fire. The consumer stated that the product has not damaged his home, while it stood crooked in his living room and no one has been injured. The consumer stated that lamp stands at 72 inches at an overall height. The consumer called the firm for the last two days and there has not been any result as the company is not willing to look at the product and will not offer any further assistance. The consumer has not contacted the retailer as they have gone out of business. The product was not damaged or broken prior to the incident. The consumer has not called the fire department or his home insurance.

Sylvania SuperSaver Plus Halogen Flood lamp 120w replacement (70W) after some unknown number of months in service (estimate between 9 and 18 months) began periods of randomly being off (while powered) or on. After a week or two of this behavior today the light suddenly exploded spraying extremely hot shards of glass. Luckily, no person was standing under the light at the time. One small piece of glass was so hot that it burned (charred) a wood chair seat where it landed.

Halogen desk lamp purchased from local Target store approximately 3 years ago malfunctioned. Lamp was not turned on and "UV" shielding glass from lamp shattered, observed that halogen bulb is black, signs of burn or what appear to be scorch marks on metal housing. Operated with original bulb that came with lamp. Spoke with my faince who advised me that she noticed a faint burning smell when operated in last few weeks. Manufactured by NFK Model LT7120-381, UL Listed: UL number E127284 "Portable Luminiare ISSUE NO. BK-49,323." Bulb has no manufacturer name shows 120V50W.

I purchased a project 62 floor lamp from target. Upon finishing putting the floor lamp together the glass that goes surrounding the light bulb was to heavy for the stand and it fell shattering on my arm causing me to get stitches and visiting the ER.

In one of the homes that I am a maintenance person for there are 50 can lights on tracks that were using Sylvania 75Par16 Halogen lights (Sylvania item #59042-3). We have had a very high rate of failure from a design or manufacturing defect in which a metal ring that holds a glass lens cover in place falls off allowing the hot lens cover to fall out as well. We have had cases of the hot lens exploding on impact with coffee tables and countertops, posing a risk of severe eye injury. Fortunately we have replaced all of the bulbs with another brand without anything worse than singed carpet and minor finger burns. Upon replacement we noted that out of the 45 Sylvania bulbs we removed 14 had already had a failure as described above. We are not sure of how many we replaced one at a time before we realized that there was a serious problem with the product.

I purchased a Halogen Torchiere Lamp: "Curvy Lady Two" from the You Will Remember Collection by the Van Teal Manufacturer at ATGstores.com on November 29, 2014. The lamp did not come with an instruction manual or a bulb. In the description of the lamp on the ATGstores.com web site, it recommended a 250 W 120V Medium Base Bulb. I was not able to locate this bulb in my area (Dallas, TX), so I called the Van Teal Company directly and was instructed to purchase a [REDACTED] 250 W Halogen Bulb model # [REDACTED] from [REDACTED].com. This lamp is constructed with the Halogen bulb socket on top of the lamp, with a circular shaped acrylic shade positioned under the socket. There is NO protective covering for the bulb and the bulb is totally exposed on the top of the lamp. (See attached photo) The back of the [REDACTED] Model # [REDACTED] Bulb packaging has a specific precautionary warning about the safety of the bulb. It states "Halogen bulbs operate at high temperature and pressure, and they could unexpectedly shatter. Use bulb in an 'enclosed fixture or with a 'protector' in front." (see attached photo) Due to the halogen bulb having no protective covering, this lamp is a fire hazard and a risk for causing bodily injury. The bulb packaging clearly warns that the bulb is capable of shattering and should only be used with a "protector." In my online research, I found information stating that all halogen torchiere lamps manufactured after 1998 were required to have a protective shield over the bulb. I contacted ATGstores.com where I purchased this lamp and told the Service Representative the safety issues. I told the representative that this lamp should not be sold and needs to be recalled. When I asked for a return authorization, I was told that I have "buyer's remorse" and would be responsible for the return shipping!! I am concerned that this lamp is NOT safe for the consumer to use. It potentially can cause severe bodily injury and/or propert
