SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20181029-AFAE0-2147384756. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Remington/Spectrum Brands H9100 (Remington/Spectrum Hot Rollers. You plug the unit up ro heat the rollers.). Incident: The product is a Remington/Spectrum Hot Rollers unit. This morning I plugged it in and went into the shower. After a couple of minutes I heard the smoke detector go off. I pulled open the shower curtain and saw smoke throughout my apartment and the hot roller unit in flames. I was able to extinguish the fire. There were flames a foot high coming from the unit. The unit sat on my vanity and there was nothing around it that would have sparked the fire. It wasn't a short because the breaker was not flipped off. I contacted the company today and they told me the model (H9100) was not on recall. I explained the situation and sent them photos of the burned unit. I declined a replacement. I did request that they get back to me on how they will move forward. I can send you the pictures if you provide me with an email address. I hope something can be done to recall this product. I have to emphasize that the unit was in flames, not simmering but on fire. I was unable to upload the pictures to this site, If you send me an email address I can send them to you.
