Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20250916-CD40D-2147327776. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Fujifilm one-time use camera Don't have box (Fujifilm one-time use camera, black, 27-exposures, 4.5 inches long x 2 inches high x 1 inch wide). Incident: My wife and I have had two s explode while taking a picture. I purchased a two-pack camera package a few months ago, and when my wife used it the first time with the flash on, it exploded with a spark emitting from the camera. I then tried the camera, and it exploded a second time. I then opened the second camera from the two-pack and took a picture without an explosion. I took the exploding camera to the retailer where I purchased it, and they gave me a new two-pack box. We finished the second camera from the without any explosions. We opened the second two-pack package and took 14 pictures without an issue. This afternoon while taking a picture with the flash on, it exploded in her face as with the first camera. Fortunately, my wife was not injured by the explosion. We will not use the second camera from the second two-pack package. Unfortunately, we have thrown out the boxes that the cameras came in, but the second defective camera has a lot number on the bottom. The second camera from the second two-pack is still in a foil wrap. We will not use either camera and hold on to them until you let us know what you want us to do with them.
