Try with following package.json...

{
    "name": "products",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "description": "",
    "main": "dist/main.js",
    "scripts": {
      "prestart": "webpack",
      "start": "node ."
    },
    "keywords": [],
    "author": "",
    "license": "ISC",
    "dependencies": {
      "faker": "^5.5.3",
      "webpack": "^5.67.0",
      "webpack-cli": "^4.9.2"
    }
}

Do a fresh install and run npm start...
