Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20130119-68670-2147459709. Matched catalog product: Sunbeam SQH310. Incident: Our Sunbeam Model SQH310 Portable Heater tends to overheat and trip off. Now I notice that the cord is getting quite hot. Almost too hot to touch. I found similar complaints at WalMart.com and other sites. One person at viewpoints.com wrote that one unit's cord melted while another unit caught fire.
