Kristopher of Port Jefferson NY (7/23/03):
I have a Black and Decker Rice cooker . Last night, as usual, I added the rice, water, covered, and turned the unit on. I went into the bedroom to use the computer. About 7 minutes later the smoke alarm and cat were going insane. I ran into the kitchen to see my rice cooker spewing black smoke and the smell of electrical fire was filling the entire apartment. I grabbed out the liner with the rice in it and slid the unit into the sink to contain the would-be fire.

Smoke damage in the apartment is the major damage. Had the smoke alarm and cat not reacted it's possible the cabinets could have caught fire.
