Forwarded... Please exercise caution.
Friends: My brother and his wife learned a hard lesson this last week.
>Their house burned down...nothing left but ashes. They have good
insurance, so the home will be replaced and most of the contents. That is
the good news. However, they were sick when they found out the cause of the
fire.
>
>The insurance investigator sifted through the ashes for several hours. He
had the cause of the fire traced to the master bathroom. He asked my
sister-in-law what she had plugged in in the bathroom. She listed the
normal things....curling iron, blow dryer. He kept saying to her, "No, this
would be something that would disintegrate at high temperatures." Then, my
sister-in-law remembered she had a Glade Plug-in in the
bathroom.
>
>The investigator had one of those "Aha" moments. He said that was the
cause
>of the fire. He said he has seen more home fires started with the plug in
type room fresheners than anything else. He said the plastic they are
made
>from is a THIN plastic. He said in every case there was nothing left to
prove that it even existed. When the investigator looked in the wall
plug,
>the two prongs left from the plug-in were still in there.
>
>My sister-in-law had one of the plug-ins that had a small night light
built in it. She said she had noticed that the light would dim....and then
finally go out. She would walk in a few hours later, and the light would be
back on again. The investigator said that the unit was getting too hot, and
would dim and go out rather than just blow the light bulb. Once it cooled
down, it would come back on. That is a warning sign.
>
>The investigator said he personally wouldn't have any type of plug in
fragrance device anywhere in his house. He has seen too many burned
downhomes.
>
>Thought I would warn you all. I had several of them plugged in my house. I
immediately took them all down.
