I was using plug-in LED night lights throughout my home. I discovered that one of them, made by AmerTac, model #71352, had caught on fire, burned, and melted while still being connected to the socket. Lucky the entire house didn't burn down. I read on the internet that other models of AmerTac plug-in LED lights have been recalled for possible fire and shock dangers. Please advise. Thanks. [REDACTED]

On the evening of 9-4-13 I was watching tv in the bedroom when the smoke/carbon dioxide alarm sounded in my kitchen. Upon entering the kitchen I found my night light was engulfed in flames. The night light is an EL ADI aaron designs #99984.I secured the power and removed the night light before the fire spread to the wall. No one was hurt in the incident but if I hadn't been home I wouldn't have a home this morning. I live off the grid and at the time of the incident the night light was plugged into a GFCI receptacle in the kitchen. I was powered at the time off a battery pack through a 1500 watt inverter. I am a master electrician licensed in the state of Maine, Lic# [REDACTED] so I can verify the correctness of my installation.

The consumer stated that his wife plugged in a LED glow light. Approximately a few minutes after plugging in the unit, she started to hear strange noises. When she walked back into the room, she saw the face plate blow off the wall and then flames blew out from the receptacle. The consumer's wife immediately went to grab the fire extinguisher. When she returned the fire diminished on it's own. The circuit breaker was later tripped. The consumer's wall was burned, which he repainted and he also had to replace the receptacle which cost him approximately $5. (8/31/2012) The manufacturer was contacted through email and has yet to hear a response.

My 3 year old bumped the adapter plug where it was plugged into the wall. The prongs and a small plastic plate snapped off in the wall receptacle. This left the back end of the energized prongs exposed (still plugged in). I stopped him before he touched it so he was not injured. However he could have been seriously burned or shocked. The flat side of the adapter with the prongs in it was clearly a separate piece glued into the body of the adapter. The glue apparently failed under very little force- just a bump from a toddler’s arm while plugged in. Product purchased 2017. Skip Hop Moonlight and Melodies Nightlight and soother. It is an owl that lights up plays sound and projects stars. Adapter is 5v two prong to USB. Adapter model number ZAU-F050055A-01 ShenZhen Zhongling Electronics Technology Co. Ltd. It is UL listed E479473

I have been buying these nite lights at Walmart for a couple years. They come in packs of 4. They are automatic (turn on when the room is dark), and they have LED "bulbs". One of them, during daylight, when plugged into a bathroom GFCI outlet, burst into flames and caused a small fire. This was in broad daylight, and no one was home. Fortunately, it did not spread, and went out on its own, but it was obvious that it had actually burst into flames. I have the melted light remnants, and took pictures. Much black soot, and the wood below the light was burned by falling melted plastic. I checked the circuit, and the GFCI circuit breaker had NOT popped, and it tested fine afterward. Luckily, no one was hurt. Looked like a manufacturing defect. First trouble (and the LAST!) I had with these types of lights.

This caller is reporting a safety hazard with a clip on night light that holds a 25 watt bulb. He purchased this product from a home supplies store in Pennsylvania sometime around June/July 2014. He had no problems with this light until around the end of August 2015 when the light which also doubles as a spotlight and was being used by the caller's 8 year old granddaughter to enable reading and visual assistance when moving around the room. There is no warning that states a child should not use this lamp. The child got up to use the bathroom using this lamp clipped to her bed and was gone from the bed for approximately two or three minutes and saw that there was an approximately two inch hole burned in her pillow. The child had not noticed that the pillow was touching her light. The caller is reporting this as a fire hazard due to the small amount of time it took for the pillow to begin burning and because there is no warning not to use in a child's room. There are no injuries being reported. The caller contacted the manufacturer but was able to speak only with the retailer who then stated that the manufacturer stated that they had no problems with these light bulbs. The caller is asking that this lamp become inspected, remade with an LED or CFL bulb as well as warnings against using in a child's room.

Meridan night light model 10200 made in China. Light caught fire and melted housing and sent ashes all over bathroom, Soot and smoke above night light in an 8 inch arc. Did not trip the breaker and fire apparently went out by itself. Damage to wall and tile where unit was located. ** Other examples of this type of failure listed on the web.

We had two nightlights in our children's bedroom and one had a backpack that had accidently fallen down onto it. It became extremely hot and melted the plastic around the bulb as well as the backpack itself. We forgot we had another one in the room that was the same model and last night my daughter realized that her stuffed bear was up against it. Again, the bear was extremely hot and the plastic is molded around the bulb of the nighlight. The maker of the nightlight is AmerTac and the model # is 71055A. I am very concerned in both cases that a fire could have been started had we not found them when we did.
