Of course, counterfeit and non-complying products are in the marketplace. Some of these do catch fire. My interest is the cause of fires in products which comply with the standards. The "In Compliance" reports do identify the counterfeit products, but these seem to be in the minority. Fires occur under fault conditions. Not following instructions is a sort-of fault condition, but rarely the cause of a fire.
