The product, in the report: NEWDERY for Apple Watch Charger, 10000mAh Portable Charger Power Bank Sold by Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BZTXZZ77/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This report pertains to a product sold by Amazon in United States. It is called: “NEWDERY for Apple Watch Charger, 10000mAh Portable Charger Power Bank”. It’s Amazon product page is here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BZTXZZ77/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Here is what happened. The product was bought in August, in USA where I reside. It was used sporadically in the last 2 months. We (my partner, our toddler son, and I) traveled to Uruguay on September 27, 2024, and are staying until October 10.
At about 4am on October 1, while sleeping in a guest room of a family member’s house, we were woken up by a crackling hissing noise emanating from this Newdery charger (power bank). It was spinning around and it was on fire -- thin tongues of flame were emanating from it. The fire resembled several firecrackers lit at once. It was emanating from the underside of the unit and was extremely hot. It took us about 10 seconds to (sort of) put the fire out, while the unit (on its own) was spinning around the floor, like a whirling dervish. Finally, I used a large pillow to extinguish the flame and then I carried (holding it between two shoes) the still glowing/hissing/crackling carcass of the unit to the kitchen sink and immersed it in water. It continued to hiss for another 4-5 seconds.
It is an absolute miracle that the fire started with us being in the room. Otherwise, it would’ve burned down the entire house where we were staying. It is also fortunate that the floor was tiled! If it was a linoleum, carpet, or wood floor, much more damage would have been done. Another miracle is that none of us was burned, though it came close. The damages amounted to burned sheets, a pillow, a mattress, and quite a few clothes. PLEASE NOTE that we have photo evidence for all of this.
The entire floor where the unit burned was covered in black soot and the air stunk terribly. All 3 of us inhaled some of that soot while putting out the fire.
Also, when we originally went to sleep that night (4 hours before the fire, around 11pm) the unit was left *unplugged*, meaning that it was not charging anything and it was also not being charged. It was on the floor in the middle of the room near some of our suitcases and clothes, but nothing was either touching it or covering it.
I tried to report this dangerous product to Amazon via its normal “product review” feature. After I submitted a review, Amazon replied with an idiotic form email saying that the review couldn’t be accepted because “it violated community standards”!!?
I believe it is imperative to (1) notify customers, both past and potential, about this dangerous product and, (2) stop Amazon from peddling it to people.
