Is there a fire hazard with this?

I'm not sure, but my personal opinion is I don't see how there possibly could be. This would probably be used outdoors with the only energy being the sun. If used indoors there would have to be ample sun for it to work and again I don't see how it would be possible for a tiny solar panel to be a fire hazard. I'm more concerned about candles, incense etc. being real fire hazards than this very tiny solar panel. Ours quit working after not even two months, poor quality for sure. Hope this answers your query.

I wouldn't think so. It's very low voltage. That being said, I wouldn't use it to pump any kind of flammable liquid.

When I initially found this safe through another source I read it had a fire rating of 1200 degrees for 20 minutes. Not the best, however, I was satisfied because my safe is in my basement. If the house caught fire most of the heat would be on the top floor, I believe the contents would be safe. I hope this helps. Matt

I'm not an expert on electrical or fire 'codes', but I highly suspect that this warning is a standard kind of legal 'disclaimer' -- i.e. if a fire can be traced to defective wiring in this device, the manufacturer will claim that it is the customer's fault for keeping it plugged-in all the time. Furthermore, it is probably reasonable to assume that the cheaper the appliance is, the more likely it will be subject to some kind of electrical "accident."

I do not see any fire hazard issue, as they do not get very hot and the electricity to power is low voltage. Each uses only 3 watts and the power supply is only 12 watts. If you leave them on, of course it will reduce lifetime, but they are LED so they are also prone to long life.

Im not sure if it would be a fire hazard or not. Those lights get pretty hot... sorry, but I hope this helps!

Yes, this model operates safely. But if not treated with the same caution as with a fire arm, could cause serious injury or even death.

Not sure. My unit and many others caught fire. Just look at the customer picks on the product page to see what can happen.

Mine got so hot I'm returning it. The cord was hot and countertop oven was very, very hot. In my opinion, this does pose a safety issue. I wasn't going to wait to see if it caused a fire.

not a fire hazard. As long as the dryer is on the floor with nothing blocking the bottom of the unit there shouldn't be any problem.

Yes (flames), if the fire is large. Must be used outdoors. We feel pretty safe in terms of fire hazard as long as we use it outdoors. Hope this answers your query

No, fires. I bought and installed one at the outside cutoff box for my heat pump. As with any device handling high currents , it must have clean and very tight connections with no chance of a short between lines. Other than that, a problem could be a manufacturing defect. My HVAC service offered to sell and install the same model but wanted double my self service cost.

I can't answer that never crossed my mind to find out, it's a great stool I can't imagine it catching fire from any source other than if my office or the building I'm in catches fire, I don't have any flammable items around and I don't smoke and truthfully i wouldn't concern my self if I were you about it catching fire.

We used to keep one on low in the garage for one of our cats. We didn't have any problems with it, but I would definately check for hot spots and any fire hazards.

No, as it has no fire resistant insulation. It will not catch fire as it is made from steel but the contents would be damaged if it was in a fire.

As with any gas appliance there is a chance that a fire could happen. Also, carbon monoxide could be emitted during use. Personally I would only use it outdoors & not run the risk of fire or someone becoming ill.

Hi Amy, I've never tried, so it's difficult for me to answer you. I suggest calling the manufacturer and asking them. You could be looking at a potential fire hazard.

How hot does it get back there??? I'm thinking for safety NO, but really have no clue as to how hot. That would answer it for me. This contains electrical power and plastic as well as metal.shoot, I'm seeing a house fire in the making.... But what do I really know.
