Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20250721-9203F-2147329387. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Apple MacBook prom 13 inch silver. Incident: On July 20, 2025, while I was using the laptop to work on a [REDACTED] document, it suddenly caught fire. One of the corners started burning visibly. I got scared, tried to blow it out, and immediately closed the device. The room still smells like burnt plastic or wiring. This MacBook was a gift I received in 2019, but the model is MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011). The device was not connected to a third-party charger, had not been dropped, and had no previous issues. I am deeply concerned about the potential fire hazard this type of device can pose for other users. I believe this incident should be documented and investigated.
