Ignition from the power supply board

Illustration of a woman who is surprised when smoke suddenly comes out of a charger while using her smartphone connected to the charger
cause
The fuse resistor was buried in resin and did not melt properly when the circuit malfunctioned.
consideration
 At the initial stage of power supply design, the fuse resistor was not buried in resin.
After passing safety/reliability tests (especially open/short tests)
The temperature rise of parts became a problem, and it was necessary to fill them with resin.
We started mass production without noticing that fuse resistors should not be filled with resin.
A photo warning that "fuse resistors should not be embedded in resin."
important point 
 Why did you use a fuse resistor? ... for cost reduction?
The open/short test was not performed again after resin filling.
No one knew that fuse resistors should not be resin-filled.
best way
 Use safety standard certified fuses instead of fuse resistors.
 A photo warning that "use safety-certified fuses, not resistor-type fuses."
