A Reddit user spoke about his Apple laptop, which spontaneously caught fire and nearly caused a house fire. The story of the owner of the MacBook Pro is published on the site of the site.
The author, Squeezieful, stated that the computer was sleeping on the bed and charging from the mains. The user who was sleeping next to him at some point smelled an unpleasant smell and woke up. The owner of the device grabbed the MacBook Pro, which caused minor burns to the palms, and threw it on the floor. According to a Reddit visitor, the burned-out device set the bed on fire and ruined the carpet.
Squeezieful noted that the 2015 MacBook Pro slightly injured him and nearly caused a house fire. Apparently, the fire was caused by the battery. The owner of the computer turned to Apple support.
According to several commenters, the American company is likely to take the user's side and acknowledge the problem. User humdinger8733 reported that he previously worked as a technical support employee for Apple: “Most likely, she will replace the burned-out laptop with one of the newer models.”
Earlier this year, Apple recognized the Belkin Portable Wireless Charger + Stand Special Edition as potentially hazardous. The company explained that they found a defect in the device that could lead to overheating.
