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.
