First aid Made Jun 22, 2016, sent to the company Jun 30, 2016, published by CPSC Jul 22, 2016
The product, in the report: Rose Gold USB to Lightning Cable - iPhone 3ft Charger for 6s 6 Plus 5s 5c 5, iPad Pro Air 2, iPad mini 4 3 2, iPod touch/nano [Apple MFi Certified]
The Product I was using can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BB5OPFS/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It is a charging cable for the Iphone 6S plus. It was plugged into the OEM charging block. It had been used approximately 2 weeks before the incident.
The item had been charging the phone for approximately 2 hours when it caught fire. As my wife was in a panic she grabbed the cable to pull it out before the battery overheated. While attempting to remove the inflamed cable she was burned. The item was being used well within the specified manner, and was in almost new condition when this occurred.
