Why she decided to speak up
The mom said she shared the video and her experience to raise awareness, especially since many people still charge devices overnight or close to where they sleep.
“I wanted to share that video with the community so people can be more aware of what power banks can cause,” she explained, adding that she was relieved her children were safe and that the damage wasn’t worse.
She also mentioned that the power bank had been purchased a few years ago, back in 2021, highlighting how older devices can become risky over time.
How to reduce the risk at home
While power banks are convenient, experts recommend a few basic precautions to stay safe:
- Avoid charging phones or power banks near beds, pillows, or sofas
- Never leave devices charging while sleeping
- Stop using power banks that feel hot, swell, or show damage
- Avoid very old or unbranded power banks
- Charge devices on hard, flat surfaces away from flammable materials
- Unplug power banks once fully charged
A reminder for everyone
This incident isn’t just a warning for parents, but for anyone who charges devices overnight. Small habits can make a big difference when it comes to safety, and this mom’s experience is a powerful reminder to take those warnings seriously before it’s too late.
