The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. Hospital admission

    Made May 23, 2017, sent to the company Jun 28, 2017, published by CPSC Jul 13, 2017

    The product, in the report: Portable battery charger for cell phones and other electronic devices. Has 2 openings on one end with a USB port and a micro USB port without covers for the ports

    I had a portable charger form the manufacturer TYLT model number WA-15TPP5200 in my pocket and it exploded causing 2nd and 3rd degree burns to my upper thigh. Due to the trauma and shock at the time of the incident I did not pick up the smoldering device from the ground and left the area to seek help. Later when family members went to obtain the device it was no longer there. Attempts to seek assistance with the medical expenses (approx $70.000) from the company have been without success as I do not have the product. I do have the receipt from when the product was purchased as well as pictures of the injuries.
