Parra, then 20, had been transported to the hospital. His mother explained to firefighters that her son's chair caught on fire while he was sleeping, and he was burned as he carried the flaming chair outside. Anthony Dignoti, the Wethersfield, Connecticut, fire marshal in charge of investigating the incident, could see that the door and door frame were damaged by the fire as well.

"The outcome of the investigation varies on a case by case basis and may include removing the product from the store, adjusting the design of the product, notifying customers to stop using the product, or other appropriate action," a company spokesperson said in a statement."We want customers to shop with confidence and if ever a customer has a concern, they can contact customer service and we will investigate.

How exactly does a charger smoke while not plugged in? LoL... dumbest thing I ever heard.

I really can't believe isn't blaming President Trump for this. I mean, you blame him for EVERYTHING! How did you miss this? You could have called it 'Cheap Plastic Crap Gate' or something ...

They say Jeff answers all problems himself He will fix this problem very shortly due to not wanting to lose his statuas as richest American .I on the other hand,since getting robbed of everything I owned I wouldn't mid losing my statuas as porest american

online shopping is now a huge part of our lives that we rely on. i think in order of improving this experience, customers reviews should be better analyzed using AI that highlights important or so called reviews so that the next buyer knows much more about the product.

had an amazon basics device melt also.

made in China/RPC?

Dear friends, follow didnotyouknow7 You'll know a lot of interesting! 🔥😊

You really think china is shipping out quality goods!

It being very hard on our 45 years marriage the division trump has created in us. My wife still believe in trump and I know he is a criminal and a traitor. Trump is hurting even our Family structures.

China for the win

Should have an electrical expert look at what was inside. Either it had the ability to hold a charge, perhaps to help with smoother charging, buffering, or something else was in there.

Quit buying the cheap shit

Les poupée sexuels a l'image d'enfant sont beaucoup plus perturbantes et inquiétantes... toujours en vente chez Amazon?🤔

Must be Chinese made

My grandfather always told me, 'You get what you paid for...

the audio panning on this video was wild

Politics won't stop tarnishing successful people image

Soon, this is going to happen all over the world as Chinese products begin to malfunction.

Buy local, support the Community

Lol what amazon did that CNN didn’t like?

Amazon is a free-for-all of cheap shit for sale.

Jess Bezos lazy eye is not pleased with this tweet

Sorry, but there is no way a battery charger, not plugged in, with no batteries in it shorted out and melted. Not possible.

Return to sender.

I always look for the 'UL Listed' emblem on products I don't know. If these have that and are counterfeit, Amazon has a big problem.

And Jeff Bezos could spend just a tiny fraction of his staggering wealth to ensure he sells quality products.

Huh? What was that?

Pls I sell nice and affordable glasses,pls kindly send a dm or call 0906 763 4482 to place your orders FolloForFolloBack,follobackforfolloback

Customer base is such a cult that a faulty Amazon product could burn down their house and they would still buy all the replacement stuff off Amazon. You know this.

BUY THE DIP! $AMZN

Amazon is nothing but a better curated eBay. What they have in common is tons and tons of low quality junk for sale, all made by the lowest bidder, and to the lowest of quality standards. If, indeed, there are any, to begin with.

Companies should care more about their customers than money

Really want to believe what you said, but given your history of FakeNews, I will stand with Amazon this time.

Since 2016, at least 1,500 reviews, covering 70+ items, have described AmazonBasics products exploding, catching on fire, smoking, melting, causing electrical malfunctions or otherwise posing risks, a CNN investigation reveals. Amazon said it stands by the safety of its products.
