Doubt that safety required highest setting. So we called the two settings 'safe' and 'explode' for what the parts did when the plug was inserted.
It failed safe as required. The customer called it dead on arrival and sent it back. Warranty costs provided a motivation for setting to the higher voltage. Customer confusion provided motivation for making it automatic. ________________________________ From: Scott Xe <[email protected]> To: [email protected]; [email protected] Sent: Saturday, December 8, 2012 12:35 AM Subject: Re: interesting recall by CPSC Why is the product called Dual-Voltage? Obviously it is a auto voltage from 100 to 240 Vac so there is no mis-placed to 110 V when used in 230 V countries. I have learnt some safety standards require the voltage setting to the highest before leaving the factory. It seems to look after such foreseeable misuse.
