Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I hit me later and scared me more. The protector was on a metal shelf. You can see the grill marks on the back. If that would have been on the carpet, there would have been a fire. Also, the are bits of burnt plastic carbon about 3' in all directions.

How does something like this happen?

You had your microwave plugged into a low-end surge protector? I thought that was a big no no, no?

From what AhPook was describing, his house took a power surge. He said everything plugged into the power strip that failed was off except an answering machine and cordless phone so the microwave and lights that flickered were on a different circuit. This can happen due to bad design, manufacturing mistakes, inadequate components, or even user issues. With the article Colorado Fatboy cited but the fact there hasn't been a general recall, my guess is that it's a quality control problem in either the manufacturing process or components.
