Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20180430-A7515-2147388288. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: FAGOR Model: 670041460 (FAGOR (Electric Multi-Cooker) pressure cooker appliance. Model: 670041460, Made in China. Stainless Steel outer cover, black plastic cover, 9 button with 2 digit readout control panel.). Incident: We experienced a serious issue with the power cord of our FAGOR (Electric Multi-Cooker) pressure cooker appliance. Model: 670041460, Made in China. This product utilizes a low quality undersized hard-wired power cord, and without proper strain release, actually caught fire at the cord entry to the appliance. It is a shame that a company such as FAGOR to allow production of such low quality short-lived and quite dangerous products. These products should NEVER utilize hard-wired flimsy light gauge zip-cord as power cords especially by a product rated to consume 1000 watts at 120VAC. Instead, utilize highly flexible 14 gauge round cable with extra length strain relief with at least IEC 320 C13/C14 or better connections. Power cords can then be easily changed or disconnected during storage. ALL products designed in such a way desperately NEED a national recall. Do not allow dangerous junk sold to the consumer. Do not purchase FAGOR or any other brand that produces products in such a manner.
