Amazon and Phone Charger Company Sued for Exploding Device in Customer's Pocket
Amazon Sued Charger, Charger, Pants on Fire!! Vid Captures Incident
Amazon sold an external iPhone charger to a customer who became a human torch ... according to a new lawsuit.
A Philadelphia man claims his fiancee bought him an EasyAcc external battery pack charger from Amazon.com, and after having it for about 9 months ... it blew up last year and caught fire in his pants pocket. Apparently there's security footage of the explosion.
The guy was using the charger as intended when it spontaneously ignited and exploded, causing severe injuries to his thigh and hand. He says he suffered burns, blisters, swelling and permanent scarring.
The man's suing Amazon and the charger company for more than $50k.
