(CNN) Three senators are demanding the recall of any hazardous products branded with Amazon's name after a CNN investigation found that dozens of AmazonBasics electronics remained for sale despite customers reporting the products had melted, exploded or burst into flames. Amazon did not directly respond to the senators' concerns but said "safety is a top priority" and that its products meet all applicable safety standards. AmazonBasics is one of the retailer's popular private label lines, offering more than 5,000 budget-friendly products that range from cell phone chargers to kitchen appliances. CNN found at least 1,500 reviews on the Amazon website, covering more than 70 items, that described safety risks. Around 30 items with three or more reviews like this remained for sale on Amazon.com.
