Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20170324-F3A64-2147404915. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Energizer Energizer Industrial. Source model text: 048-052-NA. Incident: Energizer 2X Smart Charger began to get very hot after being on for about an hour with two controllers in the stand. Stand is kept in a cool area on an end table, and is connected to a power strip that is shut off when not in use. I've had no prior issues with this charger, and luckily noticed a slight warm plastic odor before the issue got worse. Both the stand and the backs of the controllers were hot to the touch when I removed them from the stand. No damage or fire occurred, but it could have if I hadn't noticed in time.
