Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20240611-D42C5-2147338677. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Ryobi model P108; part number 130429075. Source model text: Palm Sander Model number PL406. Incident: I was using a Ryobi battery operated palm Sander. The sander stopped vibrating as an internal mechanism got stuck. I put the sander down and did some other work. About 5 minutes later the sander began to smell like burning plastic, spew out smoke and likely caught fire internally. I say likely because I blew hard to where the smoke was coming and it stopped. I also immediately removed the battery. The sander was also very warm to the touch. About 3 minutes later the sander was again at room remperature.
