🚒 Do you or your children charge their phone or tablet either on their bed or under their pillow? This is can be extremely dangerous.
The heat generated cannot dissipate and the charger will become hotter and hotter.
The likely result could be that the pillow/bed may catch fire –placing the person (as well as everyone else in the property) in great danger. 🔥
Think....where do you & your family charge your moblie phone? 👨🏻‍🚒
