New Jersey has a law on the books that requires all electrical ballasts to be changed by a licensed electrician. RE: NJAC 13:31-4-3
********************************************************************************************
A GOOD WARNING TO US ALL.. This couple learned a hard lesson
this last week. Their house burned down...nothing left but ashes. They
have good insurance, so the home will be replaced and most of the contents.
That is the good news. However, they were sick when they found out the
cause of the fire. The insurance investigator sifted through the ashes for
several hours. He had the cause of the fire traced to the master bathroom.
He asked her what she had plugged in in the bathroom. She
listed the normal things....curling iron, blowdryer. He kept saying to
her, "No,this would be something that would disintegrate at high
temperatures." Then, she remembered she had a Glade Plug-in in
the bathroom. The investigator had one of those "Aha" moments. He said
that was the cause of the fire. He said he has seen more home fires
started with the plug in type room fresheners than anything else. He said
the plastic they are made from is a THIN plastic. He said in every case
there was nothing left to prove that it even existed. When the
investigator looked in the wall plug, the two prongs left from the plug-in
were still in there. She had one of the plug-ins that had a
small night light built in it. She said she had noticed that the light
would dim....and then finally go out. She would walk in a few hours later,
and the light would be back on again. The investigator said that the unit
was getting too hot, and would dim and go out rather than just blow the
light bulb. Once it cooled down, it would come back on. That is a warning
sign. The investigator said he personally wouldn't have any type of plug in
fragrance device anywhere in his house. He has seen too many burned down
homes. Thought I would warn you all.
