CPSC: PORTABLE BATTERY JUMP STARTER. WHEN I RECEIVED THE UNIT IT WAS FULLY CHARGED. I PUT THE JUMP STARTER IN ITS HARD-SHELL CASE IN MY TRUNK. A FEW MONTHS LATER I TESTED ITS CHARGE LEVEL AND IT REGISTERED 0%. THE UNIT HAD NEVER BEEN USED. I RECHARGED IT TO 100% AND PLACED IT BACK IN THE CASE AND PUT IT IN MY TRUNK. ON THE AFTERNOON OF OCTOBER 29TH I ONCE AGAIN CHECKED THE BATTERY LEVEL AND IT ONCE AGAIN REGISTERED 0%. *BF THE CONSUMER STATED HE TOOK THE UNIT INSIDE HIS HOME AND PLUGGED THE CHARGING CABLE INTO AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET IN HIS KITCHEN AND PLACED IT ON THE COUNTER TOP. ON OCTOBER 30TH AT 2:45 AM, HE WAS AWAKENED BY THE SMOKE DETECTOR IN THE HALL OUTSIDE OF THE KITCHEN. HE WENT DOWNSTAIRS TO SEE THE JUMP STARTER ENGULFED IN FLAMES AND FILLING THE KITCHEN WITH BLACK SMOKE. HE PUT THE FIRE OUT WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. *JB
