Kmart shoppers warned not to leave popular item “unattended” after fire ensues
Kmart shoppers have issued a grave warning to other customers after a frightening incident with a toaster purchased from the store.
Sharing on a Kmart Hacks & Decor Facebook page, customer Dakoda shared a video of her toaster on fire after it allegedly malfunctioned.
The shopper claimed the kitchen appliance failed to pop up toast once it was cooked, which caused the whole toaster to burn and catch alight.
“Just another warning about Kmart toasters,” Dakoda wrote in a page.
“This one wouldn’t pop the toast back up. I was out the front, then I hear the fire alarm go off.
“I walk in and find my toaster in flames on my kitchen bench, unplugged it. Ran outside and started recording.
“This could have burnt my house down or injured someone.”\
She is not the only avid Kmart fan that has claimed to have had a similar terrifying incident with her toaster.
“Not a hack, a warning,” wrote shopper Jodie on the Kmart Hacks & Décor page.
“My trusty Kmart toaster malfunctioned. Luckily my kids came and got me. Don’t leave them unattended.”
Jodie shared an image of her burnt toast in the toaster, as well as a photograph of heavy smoke in the ceiling of her home.
Added Jodie: “I was definitely lucky.”
