What exactly can catch fire: the charger or the mobile phone?
The most common cause of fires is the charger.
“A charger that remains plugged into the outlet, even if not connected to the phone, continues to consume electricity,” explained the head of the safety center, Denis KRYUK. “Voltage surges can occur in the network, which can lead to smoke or even a fire in the charger.”
Therefore, it is recommended to charge devices during the day and under supervision. As soon as the device is fully charged, it is necessary to unplug the charger itself,” he added.
