A Los Angeles sports reporter, Ashley Nevel, suffered chemical burns and bed damage when a portable charger exploded while she slept in early February 2026.
The device, which also disabled her phone, caused toxic fumes and prompted emergency evacuation of her apartment.
Nevel, who credited a fire blanket for preventing worse harm, urged the public to stop using portable chargers and called for a ban on them aboard airplanes.
The incident follows a recall of 13,000 chargers sold at TJ Maxx and Marshalls over explosion risks, highlighting ongoing safety concerns with consumer electronics.
