Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20110418-E9DF9-2147480063. Matched catalog product: Hoover UH70820 WindTunnel 2 Rewind Bagless Upright. Source model text: Windtunnel T series. Incident: Hoover P.A.W.S. upright vaccuum with cord rewind. I purchased this vaccuum approximately 3 weeks ago and used it 4 times. While using the hose attachment the vaccuum shifted and pulled in an article of clothing. In seconds, the vaccuum began to smoke and spark as the belt burned through. Luckily, there was no damage to my home and no one was hurt as I noticed the incident immediately and took action.
