The product, in the report: PureGear USB-C to USB-A Cable
During a trip to the grocery store, we plugged an [REDACTED] smartphone into a cigarette-lighter USB adapter to charge it. We noticed the phone getting extremely hot to the touch, smoke coming from the charging port, and the plastic around the charging port melting. It seems likely that this is due to the USB type-C cable not being up to spec. The cable is a third-party product, not the cable or charger that came with the phone. The cable is a PureGear USB C-to-A cable purchased at a T-Mobile store.
