A friend's sister and family lost their house - and everything in it, including their beloved pet. Cause - a surge protector made in China; a LOT of cheap power strips and other products coming from China are NOT safe, even some food items like baby food. Here are a few links that might be informative to read:

This reminded me of a surge protector that started smouldering next to my mother's bed a couple years ago - she woke and discovered it, and unplugged everything. It was melted, and I don't even want to think of what would have happened if she hadn't woken up.
Be sure to check all electronic products are UL listed and research before you buy. Cheap crap may cost you your home (or worse) down the road.
Anyone who wishes to help Beth and her family can refer to gofundme set up on their behalf:

I wish you all a very safe and very Happy New Year.
