A woman in Taoyuan City, Taiwan was hit in the face by a power bank, causing severe injury and shock.
The incident caused great fear not only for the victim but also for those who witnessed the incident. According to reports, the woman was using the power bank to charge her mobile phone when it suddenly exploded in her face. Due to the force of the explosion, she suffered deep cuts to her skin and severe burns, causing her to be rushed to the nearest hospital for immediate medical attention. The incident prompted a thorough investigation to determine whether there was a defect in the power bank or if there was any misuse.
According to experts, overheating, low-quality batteries, or defective circuits inside the power bank are some of the possible causes of explosions. Some cheap power banks sold in the market may not have undergone proper quality testing, making them more likely to overheat or explode. For this reason, authorities have reminded the public to be selective when purchasing power banks and ensure that they are certified by recognized government agencies.
