  1. No one hurt

    Made May 12, 2026, sent to the company May 15, 2026, published by CPSC Jun 1, 2026

    The product, in the report: Product Name: LG Q51 Model Number: LM-Q510N Release Date: February 2020 Dimensions: 166.9 x 77.9 x 8.4 mm Weight: 204 grams Operating System: Android 9.0 Pie Processor: MediaTek Helio P22 MT6762, Octa-core 2.0 GHz RAM: 3 GB Internal Storage: 32 GB Display: 6.5 inches IPS LCD, 720x1520 pixels Battery: Li-Ion 4000 mAh, Non-removable Charging: Wired only, no wireless charging support Water Resistance: MIL-STD-810G compliant SIM: Dual Nano-SIM Network: 4G LTE Rear Camera: Triple 13 MP plus 5 MP plus 2 MP Front Camera: 13 MP [REDACTED]: 5.0 USB: Type-C

    On the morning of May 12, 2026, my LG Q51 smartphone spontaneously exploded while charging on my dining table. I was asleep at the time of the incident. When I woke up, I found the phone had caught fire, resulting in visible flames, smoke, and gas emission at the dining area. The device was being used in a normal manner, plugged into its charger and left on the dining table overnight, which is standard usage. There was no physical damage to the phone prior to this incident, and no prior signs of overheating or malfunction. The explosion caused severe burn damage to my dining table purchased from [REDACTED], valued at 4000 dollars. The table surface shows permanent charring and carbonized residue that cannot be removed. The phones battery visibly ruptured through the rear casing, consistent with thermal runaway originating from inside the device. I contacted LG support via live chat immediately after the incident. LG representative suggested the cause may have been overcharging or power surge, and declined to take responsibility, citing that LG is no longer in the smartphone business since 2020. I have retained the following evidence. The damaged LG Q51 handset preserved in a sealed evidence bag. Photographs of the exploded device. Photographs of the burn damage to the dining table. Screenshots of the LG support chat. No physical injuries were sustained, as I was asleep in another room at the time of the explosion.
