As the Commission of American Security Consumer Products (CPSC, acronym in English), in an official report last month (15/09) 26 incidents with burns had occurred in the United States, and the alert was triggered.
Complaints started happening last month, and were sales were immediately suspended in the 10 markets where it already sold, but Brazil had not yet received the product.
