Relays sometimes fail closed too, due to arcing and welding of contacts together. In the real world plugs get replaced (there goes any fuse, if it was present), high limits get jumped out by lazy or cheap people, contacts get carbon build up (or bugs crawl in them and get vaporized), terminals get loose due to vibration and cycling. Cause could be a loose wire, failed capacitor filter, or idiot operators doing something the unit isn’t meant to do. I repair commercial kitchen equipment, refrigeration and hvac for a living and have seen plenty of relays, contactors and smoke from cycling these on and off too rapidly. This is an issue with inductive loads, (possibly one with resistive that have an air-gapped component on it like my oil filled radiator space heater which visibly arcs upon start up).

In the video after the break, you can see exploiting the WeMo with a flaw in its UPnP implementation. Once these Internet-connected devices are found, it’s easy to turn these devices on and off really fast something not too dangerous for a desk lamp, but potentially lethal if it’s plugged into a space heater.

says his exploit could be developed into a virus that will scan for WeMo devices.

was able to get root on his Belkin WeMo and with full control of his Internet-connected outlet was able to turn it into a deathtrap. It’s an interesting device, but of course there are a few security implications of having your electric kettle connected to the Internet. The Belkin WeMo is a small, WiFi connected outlet controlled by a mobile device that adds Internet control to a desk lamp, coffee maker, or, if you’re feeling daring, your home server.
