My Sears Crafsman model #5923 drop light stopped working. I disassembled and found melted wires.

Purchased a Utilitech model 0320778 500 Watt portable halogen work light from Lowes. Assembled in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. Set unit on ground in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. Used in driveway in dry conditions. Approximately 2 minutes after plugging the unit it, the protective glass lens shattered explosively. Small, sharp shards of glass were thrown outwards from the device. I was approximately 4 feet away and was struck by the glass. I received minor cuts in two places. Glass shards were very difficult to clean up because of their small size and their "sharpness". Most of the lens remained intact but cracked like automotive safety glass. I don't know if the glass lens was defective or whether the entire design is defective. The unit generates alot of heat. My specific concerns are the force with which the glass shattered, the distance the shards were thrown, and the "sharpness" of the glass residue. I tried to contact the company to report the problem, but nobody answered their phone. I have no dog in this fight. I'll bring it back to Lowes and get a refund. I sent a note to Lowes and told them that I thought they are stocking a dangerous product. Maybe you can get them to pull the product too. Thanks and regards, [REDACTED]

An LED shop light manufactured by Sunco Lighting (model SHI_F-40W-5K-1PK) malfunctioned, causing an electrical fire. The fire was contained to the product, causing significant melting and release of smoke and toxic fumes and blackening of the ceiling above it. The product was installed and in operation in accordance with the product's instructions. It was the second light in a daisy-chain of two of the same product. The first light in the chain also malfunctioned, but did not catch fire, and was flashing and significantly dimmed with most of the LEDs not working. The product was removed and disassembled to investigate the cause, photographed, and disposed.

To who it may concern, My name is [REDACTED]the name of my company is US Asian Marketing and Manufacturing. I do consulting work for a number of different Asia based manufacturers my telephone number is [REDACTED]. I have been marketing testing products for 25 years and sit on some STP consumer boards at UL. Over the last 3 years there has been a mass exodus in China from listing products with UL over to ETL( Intertek). The reason for this is UL stepped up its after market monitoring of off spec products and went to a three strikes you lose your listings law. Meaning, if you products are found to be off spec in the market 3 times your listings are suspended and you cannot use the UL mark. Please note the three companies listed on my testing reports in China all changed from UL to ETL over the last 3 years. There products are in 10,000 Ace Hardware stores Wal-Mart and on line with Harbor Freight and in the 800 stores. After many months of presenting my testing data and making complaints at ETL they refuse accept my complaints which should be against the law. They are not investing cheating on products at all and should be suspended as a safety testing agency. These products are below spec making their maximum amperage capacity and everything listed as per spec false and should all be recalled. I will send you another few reports also as this is not only being done in extension cords but lighting products too. PLEASE TAKE SOME ACTION AGAINST THIS TERRIBLE INJUSTICE TO THE AMERICAN COMSUMER [REDACTED]
