Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20180404-B4809-2147388806. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Supco SCM150. Incident: A surge protector that was installed on my air conditioning system approximately 3 years ago started on fire and burned the side of my house. The surge protector is made by Supco and is model number SCM150. I contacted the HVAC company who installed the unit and they said there were recalls on the product, but all I can find are warnings. One of the warnings is from UL under Release No. 16PN-10. This is not a UL listed device, but they acknowledge that the surge protector is a fire hazard. Other HVAC vendors have also sent out their own notices letting customers know that these items are fire hazards and to have them removed.
