Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20160126-6DC99-2147424301. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Hoover UH70120. Incident: I have a Hoover WindTunnel T-Series Rewind Bagless vacuum cleaner with Model# UH70120 and MFG. Code# J13A. In this vacuum cleaner any cord left inside heats up very quickly and recently while using the vacuum the wire left inside became very hot and a small portion of the cord melted. This is very dangerous as it can lead to fire or electric shock. I request Hoover to look into this issue and fix it.
