No incident, no one hurt Made Aug 6, 2016, sent to the company Aug 26, 2016, published by CPSC Sep 12, 2016
The product, in the report: USB Type-C wall charger and cable provided with the Google Nexus 5X manufactured by LG. This is only an example of many that are not following specification and creating a hazard.
The market for USB Type-C (also known as USB 3.1 Type-C) chargers and cables are having significant inconsistencies between cell phones/smart phones (devices) and not following the specifications established by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF). Examples of manufacturers doing this are LG and [REDACTED] and they have not taken any steps to address this. Consumers are not readily aware of this practice and may plug their device into a charger that is non-compliant because the charging connector is the same as one that is compliant. What this is causing is a significant risk of shock, fire or injury due to the battery exploding due to these non-compliant chargers or cables sending more power than the device needs.
Companies like Amazon have already taken their own steps to try and limit this hazard to consumers by banning non-compliant cables or chargers from sale on their site. See here under Examples of prohibited listings: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_left_cn?ie=UTF8&nodeId=200277240 “Any USB-C (or USB Type-C) cable or adapter product that is not compliant with standard specifications issued by “USB Implementers Forum Inc.”” Also certain people have taken on the task of verifying themselves if the cable or charger is following the specification to ensure consumers have the right knowledge that a cable they buy or are already using will not be a safety hazard. Example here: https://plus.google.com/collection/s0Inv
A great video that also details the safety hazards presented by these non-compliant and defective chargers and cables can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMPrM0eWPbY . I hope the CPSC can review all of this and realize that as USB Type-C is fast replacing MicroUSB as the way to charge devices, that leaving this situation unchecked may result in consumers being harmed due to gross negligence by manufacturers not following established and available specifications.
