Throw it in the trash. Call the manufacturer.

NO! NEVER! that trigger has SERIOUS issues and should be removed/ replaced/ discarded before another minute goes by. return it at once, or destroy it. it's not only malfunctioning, it will land you in prison. i hear the black helicopters spooling up now.

Listen do not fire it again. Take it to a smith and tell them the problem and see if they can figure out the issue, or take out the trigger, contact the manufacterer and discuss a replacement. Do not fire it again though, if it keeps going full auto and you get reported you will be in serious trouble.

Put that trigger in a box and label it "Open in case of SHTF"

Did you check the installation? Is it correct? Is the disconnector spring in correctly?

One way or another, as suggested above you need to address the problem immediately.

Damn, Dec 2007 and two posts?  As the others have stated.  Remove that from your rifle asap and contact the manufacturer to get it replaced.

Since nobody else asked,what kind of trigger is it?

OK, take off your tin foil hats and try and help the guy.  Most likely you put the disconnector spring in upside down.  Make sure the wide end of the DC spring goes in the hole in the trigger, sort of locking it in there.
Now, before life fire, do the function tests you should always do whenever changing anything in the FCG.  If you don't know how to function test your trigger say so and we can give you al link or walk you through it.  If it passes the function test the proceed with live fire.  
Load up two rounds and see if the problem is still there.  No?  Load up three and see what happens, then five...  You most likely made a mistake in assembly and all that BS about throwing it away and the feds are coming is just people trying to rattle your cage.  
People make mistakes all the time and are not thrown in jail for them.  Just don't be stupid and continue to play with it if it is still doubling.
And for crying out loud, make sure you are not accidentally bump firing.  Make sure you grip is firm and you are pulling the trigger firmly and not just feather milking the trigger.  I have had accidental bump fires a couple of times in my .458 SOCOM when doing load work up and pulling the trigger very gently with a very light grip but it is obvious, to me anyway, that I am bump firing it and not getting a double.  Whenever it has happened I tighten up my grip and no more bumps.

THIS.....my lord have i never seen so many spokesman for the ATF, if every time somebodies S/A went into F/A by mistake because of trigger work, etc...than they would have to throw all the pot heads outta jail to make room for firstly all the rimfire fans...their would be a ton of innocent GSG-5 fans in their for sure.  Generally i would think any ATF/LE officer would be able to see a diff. b/t a gun modded to go F/A and a gun that is mal-functioning.

Had a similar problem on a new build. Disconnect had a burr, cleaned it up and problem solved. Check this and make sure spring is installed correctly as above.

I think BIG BORE just solved the problem with my rifle shooting 2 to 3 times. Think maybe setting on trigger too much trying to get perfect groups.

Olofson put M16 parts in his AR.  He WANTED it to fire auto.

The law is ridiculous, but Olofson thought it was OK for his gun to fire F/A as long as it didn't have an autosear. He was wrong about that.

What M16 parts were they?

I always thought (and read) that it was just a stock OLY FCG that malfunctioned.
