Mildly concerning because I bought these on sale in December. One is in my chicken coop, the other my garage...
The review that was pulled with pics of the fire was pretty bad. Crazy they took it down. Here is what it said though:

"1.0 out of 5 stars Chicken coop caught on fire 2 weeks after placing this
December 30, 2018
Style: On at 35, Off at 45Verified Purchase
Our whole coop burned down after installing this. I don't know if this item was the cause but it was the only new thing placed in the coop. Both chickens perished in the fire and the garage siding melted off and the soffit is ruined."
Also, tons of reviews state the QC is horrible and it either doesn't work or just falls apart. Internals are very cheap and cannot be relied on. One review I thought was especially frightening:
"This thing is dangerous. It fell apart while I was plugging it in the first time. The front cover came off in my hand leaving the bare metal to shock me while I figured out how to get it unplugged."
Multiple review state it has the UL seal. That said, I wouldn't put it past as Chinese manufacturer to falsely label it.

Yeah I was just wondering about, because there's no retailer liability with all the China import stuff they could cut a lot of corners
Furthermore technically, the review is speculation since they did not know if this was the cause

No chance it was the wiring? Just curious.
