Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20120223-EF4F9-2147469865. Matched catalog product: Toro Toro Rake and Vac model 51585. Source model text: Toro Ultra Blower Vac #51599. Incident: I purchased a new Toro Ultra Blower, Model 51599, Serial # 311384699. I was having trouble getting it to stay on, as the connection to the internal plug was making poor contact. The second time I used it, the blower stopped, started to smolder and smoke started coming out of the plug, with the plug showing signs that it was beginning to melt. This item was made in Mexico it says on the piece. Obviously it was not put together properly and poses both a fire hazard as well as a danger to the user.
