Melbourne: Woman’s headphone batteries appear to have exploded on a flight from Beijing to Melbourne. After which a passenger warning has been issued in the flights.
The unnamed woman described how she was sleeping with the device on when she awoke to an explosion, Australian transport Safety Bureau(ATSB) states.
“As I went to turn around I felt burning on my face. I just grabbed my face which caused the headphones to go around my neck,” she said. “I continued to feel burning so I grabbed them off and threw them on the floor. They were sparking and had small amounts of fire.” she added.
Exploding batteries in consumer products are, unfortunately, nothing new — see dozens of exploding hoverboards, not to mention Samsung and its flammable Galaxy Note7 debacle in 2016. The ATSB declined to name the headphone brand, because it was a “battery issue, not a headphone issue.
