Think charging your phone overnight or when you head out is always safe? Think again…

Electrical fires are more common than you might think, and faulty or damaged chargers and batteries can pose a serious fire risk.

To help keep you and your home safe:
🔌 Switch off and unplug chargers when you go to bed or leave the house.
🔋 Use the charger supplied with your device, or one from a reputable manufacturer.
⚠️ Don’t use chargers, cables or batteries that are damaged, swollen or showing signs of overheating.
🛏️ Avoid charging devices under your pillow, on your bed or on soft furnishings, where heat can build up.
🚪 Make sure you have working smoke alarms and know how to get out safely if a fire starts.

A few simple steps can help reduce the risk of an electrical fire.
