Stop using and replace your phone or charger if you notice:
-
Excessive heat
-
A burning smell
-
Swelling or bulging battery
-
Sparks or unusual sounds
-
Discoloration near the charging port
These are early warning signs that something isn’t right.
Your phone feels harmless — it’s small, familiar, and always within reach. But the combination of heat, electricity, and soft flammable materials can create a hidden hazard.
A simple habit change — moving your phone off the bed and onto a hard surface — could make a real difference in keeping your home and family safe.
