The product, in the report: LG Nexus 5X H790 smartphone
My wife was sleeping in the same room as my child and she was woken to the smell of burning plastic and electrical fire. Her 2 month old international LG Nexus 5X was melting and burned her had when she grabbed it to remove the power cable. I have now spent 2 weeks making calls to LG and they will not back up their warranty because it is not the US version of the phone.
