Incident narrative

Product: Popsocket PopSockets PowerPack Phone Charger with [REDACTED]- (On August 5, 2026, I was using a PopSockets PowerPack magnetic wireless battery pack exactly as intended. The PowerPack was magnetically attached to the back of my [REDACTED] while I was actively using my phone. Without any warning, the device suddenly emitted a loud pop, began sparking, caught fire, and catastrophically failed. The battery pack ruptured with enough force that it flew from my hand, struck a nearby wall, and left soot damage. As a result of the incident, I sustained minor burns to my abdomen. My 18-month-old daughter and I were briefly exposed to smoke from the battery fire before we immediately evacuated the home. Poison Control was contacted regarding my daughter and advised home observation because she remained asymptomatic. The PowerPack was destroyed during the incident. My phone case sustained damage, and there was soot damage to the wall where the battery pack struck after the failure. The [REDACTED] itself appears to remain functional. The product was being used during normal, intended operation. It was not dropped, modified, or misused before the incident. The damaged product has been preserved, and photographs documenting the failed battery pack, property damage, and injuries have been retained.).
