Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20120925-D2BC6-2147463434. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Hoover UH70120. Source model text: Model UH70120. Incident: Hoover� WindTunnel T-Series� Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaners with Cord Rewind Feature - I purchased in 2010 for $120.00 at Target. I have been getting a very hot cord while using. The rewind feature for the cords jams and failes to lock as well! It is splitting the coating on now 2 areas of the cord exposing wire! The vacuum is now too dangerous to use because of the exposed wiring and hot cord may cause fire, burn or electrocution!! Model UH70120, MFG CODE:C10A
