SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20200612-CC4FB-2147371745. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Google google pixel. Source model text: Pixel 3. Incident: I was charging my Google Pixel 3 on a wireless charger manufactured by [REDACTED] and the battery exploded. I woke up to a loud CRACK and then flames were coming out of the side of my phone and it sounded like a flare had been lit. The phone and charger were on my bedside table and it caught my lamp on fire, left burn holes on my sheets and pillow and would have burned my face if the lamp were not placed between the phone and my bed.

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20220924-11A1A-2147353676. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Google google pixel. Source model text: 5a. Incident: So I'm on my porch two Sundays ago scrolling [REDACTED] on my phone (as one will do) and my phone (Pixel 5a, 6 months old) starts to get hot. I mean hot. Then it starts to smoke. Then it is engulfed in blue/white THICK smoke! I tossed it on a chair without thinking and it caught on fire and melted the chair and a pillow. I smacked it off of the chair and it went on to the pool deck where it EXPLODED.

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20260624-96542-2147315424. Matched catalog product: Google google pixel. Source model text: Google Pixel 10 Pro XL 1 TB - Obsidian Black. Incident: I was charging my Google Pixel 10 Pro XL 1TB phone with Google's charger, I went to unplug it and it was very hot to the touch. The battery swelled so it caused me to accidentally drop the phone. I picked it up and it started hissing, it caught on fire and burned my finger so I dropped the phone again, then grabbed something to push it outside of the house.

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20260519-A60FB-2147319034. Severity: Injury, No First Aid or Medical Attention Received. Product: Google google pixel (Google Pixel 10 smartphone). Incident: I discovered my Google Pixel smartphone severely damaged. The device was found charred, burned, and broken into multiple pieces, with the battery fully separated and exposed. There was smoke present. When I attempted to pick up the device, it was still hot and burned my finger on contact. The product is a Google Pixel smartphone approximately 6 months old, purchased late November 2025. The device was not in use at the time - it was stored in its normal resting location. I sustained a minor burn injury to my finger when I attempted to handle the device while it was still hot. The damage is consistent with a lithium battery thermal event - the battery internal layers are visibly carbonized and separated, and the charring pattern originates from inside the device outward.
