"A few years ago, I purchased a set of these for my elderly father's house. Frankly, we forgot they were there. Last Saturday evening as he was cooking, the oil in his pan caught fire. The loud pop scared him as much as the fire, but the fire was immediately extinguished. The only "damage" was to his dinner, and having to vacuum up the powder. I have replacements on order, and have spread the word about these units. Thanks!"
