After the third-party mobile phones and chargers caused the phone to catch fire or even exploded, the media also reported a third-party iPhone data cable caught fire on the user's knee. It is reported that a 16-year-old British girl purchased the charging cord from Poundland and tried to charge her iPhone with the original Apple charging head. At the time of the incident, Chloe Moore was sitting and holding her phone in her hand, but after a few seconds of access, the cable sparked.
“At that time, I really freaked out. I bought many cheap unofficial charging cables before, but I used them all right. As a result, just after inserting the data cable, I quickly smelled a plastic burning taste, it felt like the plastic on top melts."
Chloe Moore immediately unplugged the charger and cell phone data cables. Fortunately, she was not injured except for the seemingly burned data cable itself. She went on to say: "After a while, the end of the connection to the mobile phone began to smoke, and the metal contact part caught fire. I thrilled and threw it on the floor and cut off the socket. Fortunately, I was not burned. " It is fortunate to see that the girl was not injured in the end, but the accident was too dangerous! Therefore, we recommend that when buying a micro usb cable, you must pay attention to buying a trusted brand, and pay attention to MFi safety certification. We don't have to spend a lot of money to buy expensive Apple original charging cables. In fact, there are many third-party lines with better quality and high cost performance.
Moore explained that she had already reported the problem to Poundland, but no one responded after being transferred to customer service. Poundland said in a statement that they will open investigations after contacting customers. For this matter, Apple has not issued a comment yet, but we cannot blame it. After all, the charging cable that caused the accident was made by a third party.
