Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20190918-841C8-2147377602. Matched catalog product: Mr. Coffee 14-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker BVMC-PC14BL2. Incident: This September 17, 2019 in the afternoon, hours after being turned off and empty, our Mr. Coffee electric, 12 cup coffee maker, about 1 year old, model # bvmc-PJX23 ---- sent billows of smoke and fire. I run into my smoke and smell filled kitchen, pulled the cord out and knocked the coffee maker into the sink, I couldn't touch it, fire flames were reaching toward the ceiling. Took a long time to extinguish the flames. Because of the smell burned plastic we couldn't' spend the night at home. Worst of all, we lost the innocence of feeling safe at home with any plugged in appliance . If we weren't home, this coffee maker would burn the house down. If we were sleeping, we could be dead!. This is just awful.
