About a week ago, my new flashlight began to malfunction. I opened it up and got hit by a "burning electronics" smell. I e-mailed the dealer about this, and they promptly replied, telling me to return the light within two weeks (just the light and none of the accessories.)
Saturday morning, I sat down with the light to remove the batteries, as well as the "deep carry" clip that was purchased extra. I tried the light out for a minute or two. It worked ok, but I figured it still needed to be returned.
As I was working to get the clip off, I was hit by that "burning electronics" smell again. This time there was a cold feeling, followed by sharp pain in my right lung. It was (and still is) difficult to get a good breath. I quickly became ill and have been bedridden for most of the last two days.
Today is the first weekday since it happened, so I haven't had a chance to see a doctor yet. Has anyone else experienced or heard about this kind of thing before? Is this a common reaction to malfunctioning flashlights?
