SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20250327-4796E-2147332289. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: HOMCOM 22" Electric Fireplace Heater B077P1J1T8 (Electric fireplace heater with realistic LED flames and logs.). Incident: Dear Consumer Product Safety Commission, I am reaching out to report a serious safety issue with an electronic fireplace I recently purchased through Amazon. The units power cord became extremely hot to the touch, posing a significant fire hazard and a risk of severe burns to my family and pets. Given the danger, I immediately discarded the fireplace to prevent any potential harm. I contacted the seller to request a refund, but they refused to provide one. After escalating the issue to Amazon, they removed the listing for the fireplace. However, I am unsure whether this removal is temporary or permanent, and I am concerned that other consumers may still be at risk. Additionally, Amazon is refusing to issue me a refund because I no longer have the defective unit, despite my actions being necessary for safety reasons. I believe this product poses a serious hazard and should be investigated to prevent potential injuries or property damage. Please let me know if you require any additional information from me, including order details or any communication with the seller and Amazon. I appreciate your time in reviewing this matter and look forward to your guidance on next steps. Best regards, [REDACTED]
