I need to show that to my husband. He is the one who is charging phone that way..

Agree the biggest no no in our house hold!

I’m so sorry that we keep hearing this. I’m constantly telling my son not to charge his laptop on his bed. I will tell him again and again until it sinks in.

This is such a worry, Must keep remembering to remind kids not to do this.

Better yet, teach kids to switch off powerpoints when not in use. Eventually they’ll have to pay an electricity bill.

I’ve been charging my phone overnight off our desk top computer tower & when the lead is unplugged it touches the carpet! i have changed this bad habit since just reading the above! Thanks!

Such a helpful tip, would never have thought to worry aboutthis.

This is a scary reminder of how careful we need to be. I always charge my phone on a table and after seeing something about laptops catching fire, try to charge my laptop on a flat surface for the same reason.

So scary

I’ve taken another look at our charging arrangements after seeing this.

Wow that is a wake up call. I am very careful where I charge my phone but others not so much. Will share this photo so that we are all aware.

I have a place where all phones get charged and that’s in the kitchen but I only do this so it’s available to my son as well. Never thought about what could possibly happen if it was being charged in the bedroom. I’m so glad that she did pick her son up early. Disaster averted

We always take care when charging. It can be so dangerous.

I never would have imagined this could happen, however, my is always plugged in on my side table. I know it’s probably not the best practice but I use it for my alarm and other things I do while in bed.

This is so dangerous. We have learnt this long time ago and don’t use our phones on our beds or use it while charging as it can be fatal. Also the rule of the house is it has to be kept on a bench top with a confirmation to each other (hubby and myself) that we have switched off any switch which was turned on. This is for our children and home safety.
