You bought the set 3 years ago, and unless you bought an extended warranty, it was at least 2 years out of warranty.
You were almost certainly not at risk for a fire. The smell was most likely a fusible component burning out. A not uncommon occurence.
It's a very acrid, unpleasant odor, but is a sign a part failed doing its job.
IF the set had a history of "FIRE" as you so hysterically infer, it would have been recalled long before now.
No, I don't work for them, I don't even particularly like their product...it's very low end and the picture is NOT to my liking.
You life was NOT threatened. NO Ripoff.
