Plastic corner melted & hot to touch! Fire Hazard!!

[FluffyKent1]

I bought a Samsung UE50J6100 Full HD 50" LED TV with Freeview HD from Tesco's under 4 years ago and yesterday, I turned my TV on (after being off for over 10 hours) & a black & white stripy screen appeared.  Also the bottom left hand corner on the screen had a big purple/black pixel circle and on the actual plastic corner of the TV this had actually melted/bubbles and was red hot to touch! Surely this is a manufacturing problem? As this could of caused a fire in my house! Please can someone assist? Many thanks.
