Hurt, no treatment Made Apr 19, 2019, sent to the company Apr 29, 2019, published by CPSC May 13, 2019
The product, in the report: Current Generation Apple AirPods.
Apple Airpods - the right Airpod overheated and caused a minor burn on my sons ear - he removed it rather quickly.
The right earbud no longer functions reliably. It will work sometimes, other times not. Rather loathe to keep using it for any length of time.
