QUOTE: Originally posted by krump Wow! Glad that things turned out well. Thanks for the smoke alarm reminder (and about Fire Extinguishers). You certainly had a quick response with the right decisions. God Blessed you with safety today. - call Sunbeam and see if there is a recall or something - just b/c then you will know. The company needs to know how their products do (field research) and we're had a Sunbeam Blender (circa 1970-75) that was great. Just replaced it 6 months ago. -okay, that one was a 20 yr hand-me-down-from-mommy, that we used daily for the past 10 yrs (... and for the rivet counters out there : I have no idea when mom bought it - heavy pink thing, 25, 30 yrs ago - who cares?)[:D][X-)][swg][(-D][(-D][(-D] - then join us in the CS - I've got your tab (Happy New Year!)
cheers, krump

QUOTE: Originally posted by selector pcarrell, that is one scary story! So glad that you were able to tell us about it. Smoke from plastics is NOT good!!! One thing that may crop up in the next few days is what is called a Critical Incident Stress Response. You may suddenly feel very anxious for no apparent reason. This is normal, but not if it persists for more than a very few days. A source of prevention is to talk it out, with us if you'd like, and especially with your frau. She will need to get the anxiety off her chest, too. So, keep talking about it, do a lot of recalling of little details, and play it out so that your mind gets tired of dealing with it. Process it that way, and you will probably be just fine. I offer this as a palliative in case it happens. I am not predicting that it will, just a courtesy here. Respectfully, and happy to hear that you are okay, -Crandell

QUOTE: Originally posted by MisterBeasley I'm not normally a run-and-get-a-lawyer person, but it seems you have a valid claim against Sunbeam. The warantee only covers the product itself. They still may be liable for damages long after the warantee has expired. They should at least meet the deductable on your homeowners' insurance for any damage caused. I'd hang on to the can opener - don't send it back to them or it might get "lost."
QUOTE: Originally posted by trainfreek92 a very good thing you guys are alive and the layout suffered no damage[:D] I think you might go to a manual opener now[:I] Tim

QUOTE: Originally posted by pcarrell QUOTE: Originally posted by dave9999 I think I would give Sunbeam a call. I would, except that I don't have any more proof. The can opener is melted down to a chared blob of plastic with a couple of metal gizmo's sticking out. The only way I figured out what it was is because it was the blob next to the half melted toaster. Anyways, I think it only had a 1 year warrenty. Maybe I'll send it to them so they can figure out why it did that and then fix the problem in all the new ones.
