SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20140330-C477C-2147445916. Matched catalog product: Apple Ipad. Incident: My iPad "lighting cable" melted last night. I keep the cord plugged into the Apple charging adapter (which plugs into 120V at the wall) at all times. I leave the smaller end lying on the table next to the iPad so I can quickly plug it to the iPad each night.

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20131209-51448-2147449187. Matched catalog product: Apple Ipad. Incident: My wife's iPad charger was plugged into an outlet today and the USB port end burned up. It was not plugged into the device. I noticed a strong smell of something electrical burning and a haze in the room. I unplugged everything including the charger and the smell went away. We later discovered the end which plugs into the iPad was burnt and part of the plastic had melted. We went to an Apple store and they claimed it looked like the USB end got wet, therefore, causing an issue when it was plugged in. The charger never got wet.

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20150903-4D428-2147428762. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Apple Ipad. Incident: My wife plugged the Ipad 3 wall charger into her Ipad 3 a couple of evenings ago as she has done before, and when she returned the connector that connects to the Ipad 3 port had begun to melt and was very hot. There was also a burning smell in the room. I still have the cable. The Ipad 3 doesn't appear to have been damaged because we caught it in time. If this had been charging overnight, the damage would probably have been much worse. Nothing was done differently in charging the Ipad 3 this time versus other times. A different charger seems to be working fine so far for charging it, although much slower as it is a Iphone charger and apparently charges slower.

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20130212-2BE8B-2147458874. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Apple Ipad (This is the usb charging cord for an Ipad). Incident: My power cord was plugged into a powerstrip but was not charging anything. It was loose on the floor. At 1:00 in the morning my wife woke me up to tell me that the house smelled funny. I could instantly smell burning plastic. I searched the house and discovered it was from our room. The plastic piece was hot even though it wasn't charging anything and the cord front was completely had melted plastic and blackened metal. It charred a spot on our carpet. This was just on the regular floor.
