Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20160620-2E2C7-2147417652. Matched catalog product: Samsung Samsung Galaxy S10FE 5G tablet and tablet cover. Source model text: S6 Active. Incident: The phone was placed on charge around 1230am on June 9, 2016 using the Samsung charger that is issued with the phone. The phone was sitting on the side of the bed, with nothing covering it, and around 4am the it pretty much exploded and caught on fire. The sound was so loud it woke my child up in the next room. The fire burnt through my sheets, mattress, and luckily no bodily harm was caused. This disaster occurred while we were sleeping and could have caused a lot more damage to my house and my family. This is unacceptable for a phone to burst into flames while charging. Now, he is without a phone, and my mattress smells like burnt plastic.
