It is a Boaphile Rhino RaXX 10 drawer sweater box rack. All plastic construction, sealed connections, nothing is wrong with the rack and Jeff uses low wattage heat in the rack. I know people who have 4 of these on the same thermostat.
I didn't have it plugged into a surge protector, and the outlet is not a GFCI outlet (which just cut current in the event of a ground fault).
I've had the rack on the thermostat for two years without a problem. So the only variable is the outlet and not having a surge protector. Since I used surge protectors at home, and the outlets were obviously different. Though at home I did have breakers trip every so often, my sister's room was on the same circut and when she used her hair dryer while I had the tv or computer on, it would trip. However, it never caused a problem in my thermostats, once the breaker was re-set.
