Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20170316-F5999-2147405147. Matched catalog product: Hamilton Beach Griddle Model# 38518R, Power Adapter Model# ZL203. Source model text: Model Number 34101Y Series A2941BW. Intertek 4002290. Incident: We are a manufacturing facility. We use single burners to heat up wax or glue in small quantities. In our lab a burner caught on fire. It was immediately unplugged. After inspecting the burner and pot, we noticed that the coil on the burner was damaged, which created a hole through the pot where it was placed. Due to the petrolatum leaking from the hole, it started a fire about 2 to 3 feet high. It burned itself out within seconds. Thankfully no one was too close to the burner or flame. There was also a sudden loud surge of electricity and the contents within the pot splattered all around within a 3 foot radius.
