Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20231026-0FB8D-2147344394. Severity: Injury, First Aid Received by Non-Medical Professional. Product: Coast CWL400R (Coast clamp on work light with 3 brightness settings purchased at costco Also no safety warnings on the box at all). Incident: I had a recent purchase at Costco of a light from the brand Coast, I has a slight injury and property damage and feel like Coast is completely unconcerned about how serious this could have been. Please help/advise. Below is some of the things I have sent them as well as their reply. Me: I purchase a clamp on light from Costco from the brand Coast. I feel like even with what I reported to them, Coast is not taking all of the necessary consumer safety precautions they could/should be, especially after their response. I am sending my message to them, followed by their reply. I cannot stress enough how much more dangerous this could have been. The second incident in the same day heated my phone to a dangerous temperature inside my pocket while buring my leg and leaving a brown spot through pants and thermals. If my phone would have exploded in my pocket the results could have been devastating to say the least. With this being a portable item it should be expected to be in some areas where it could cause fires if turned on unknowingly. Thank you. Me: I recently purchased your clamp on light at Costco and it is amazing , I love it and everyone that sees it comments on it.. but.. the power button has basically zero safety features or functions and my $200 sweater/hoody ended up having a hole burned through it. That was already upsetting enough but then after using the light on a job this evening I got back in my vehicle and was putting everything away and the light burned my leg, started to burn amd ruined my pants and had I not felt the burning my phone was in the pocket heating
