YooperCandles Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I dont know if anyone else has seen this, or how true it is, but I just thought that it was important to show it to as many people as possible for the safety factor.PamAfter posting this and realizing the attachment didnt attach, I didnt of reasearch and found this about the email I got. The email example is the exact email I received.http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/p/plug-in-air-fresheners.htmI guess everyone needs to decide for themselves, fire hazzard or not!

cmspath Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 For what it is worth, we had our house inspected a year or so ago, and the inspector told us that those are the one of the main causes of house fires.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glowlite Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 A couple of years ago I had a glade oil plugin explode! Then a few months later I see on the TV that type of unit was recalled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 my son is with the local fire department. they HIGHLY discourage using any of the plug ins because they say they are a fire hazard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonWorks Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I also quit using them several years ago when a fuse blew out for no apparent reason. When I went into the bathroom the socket around the plug-in was black with soot and it looked like sparks had come from it from the 'burn marks' on the plug in. I pitched the air freshener and put in a new electric socket and plate....I guess that's why we have fuses! I think that's what stopped a fire in our house.Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
