Product: Baseus PPXCW06 (https://a.co/d/7JajNh9 Baseus Magnetic Power Bank Battery Pack, 6000mAh Wireless Portable Charger PD 20W with USB-C Cable, for [REDACTED], White Product Dimensions 3.86 x 2.52 x 0.59 inches Item Weight 5 ounces ASIN B09Z6B6681 Item model number PPXCW06). Incident: My wife, [REDACTED], was using a Baseus Magnetic Power Bank Battery Pack, 6000mAh Wireless Portable Charger with a lightning cord connected to her [REDACTED] from the power bank. It was on the couch on top of a blanket and directly next to her head. She was laying on the couch. Without being touched, the power bank spontaneously combusted and was shooting flames, sparks, and dark colored matter from the power bank. This then spread to the blanket, lighting it on fire. I was able to run into the room, wrap the power bank in the blanket to choke the oxygen and ran the powerbank covered in the blanket outside to our patio. When I opened the blanket upon getting to the patio, the power bank exploded into pieces, blowing the cover off of the bank, and exposing twirled copper wire. The injuries sustained from the initial fire included superficial burns to my wife's hands, a small burn on the inside of my forearm and my wife's hair was burned on the side that was closest to the original fire. These injuries were caused by the initial fire. This product was purchased from Amazon: https://a.co/d/7JajNh9
