They shouldnt make desklamps so powerful that they overheat like that,
thats so stupid if you think about it I you may have stacked or scatterd papers all over you desk, your desk could be at you window and cause a fire if you have drapes.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

well in all honesty i believe it's up to the people to look out for stuff like that, not the manufactures..........

 

[102first_hussars]

No the company is providing consumers with a dangerous product hense safety is always the manufacturers responsibility.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

it's only dangerous if you use it incorrectly, it proberly says somewhere "Caution- can get hot" or something similar on it.........

 

[cheddar cheese]
