危险！睡觉时切勿在床上给电子设备充电
If you’re one of those people that needs your phone or device in bed with you when you’re asleep, you might want to read on. That’s because doing this could be really dangerous, in that it could set your entire bed on fire. It’s a warning that has been issued specifically for children who got new tablets for Christmas but extends to anyone who places a device (on charger) somewhere flammable(易燃的) during the night.
Pictures, that were shared by the Australian Fire Department, show exactly how dangerous charging on a flammable surface can be. They show the end of a charger which looks to have had all its protective coating melted away. From there, it has started to the bed sheet and another cover, giving an insight into the damage that can be done if left.
The post has been shared by CPR Kids, a page dedicated to CPR and First Aid education. Alongside the pictures, they wrote: “Did your children receive a tablet or phone for Christmas? Make sure that they never charge electronics in bed — teach them to follow manufacturers’(制造商) guidelines. Charge on a flat surface with no flammable materials around, make sure there are no foreign objects in the connector or plug, and avoid cheap accessories. Also, it is important to check that cords(电源线) are always in good condition and throw away any that show signs of wear and tear. Damaged cords and charging in unsafe conditions can pose a fire risk! And always keep cords out of reach of little ones.”
Tagging people in the comments, one Facebook user wrote: “This is why I tell you to remove the power board from your bed!” Sharing their own experience, someone else commented: “We once charged our phone on a book on our desk. The phone heated up so much that the book caught fire. Smoke hadn’t gotten to the smoke detector yet.”
