Samsung Charger Blew Up!

[jasonhassett99]

Hello, I was lying in bed last night, and was about to go to sleep, when I heard a fairly loud bang and saw a massive spark next to me. After turning the lights on I realised that the top of my Samsung charger had blown off completely, and the room now smelt of smoke. I've had this Samsung plug since I got my phone a couple of years ago, and never had an issue. However last night was extremely frightening, and my partner and I struggled sleeping afterwards. I would appreciate if someone could get in contact with me regarding this, as this was a really concerning situation. Thanks in advance, Jason

Hi there. The same happened to my wife while at home with the kids. Just a loud bang and the charger was in 2 pieces. I bought a fast charger from Samsung through Amazon for my wife's Z flip 5

This is the plug

This was the device I was charging which fortunately seems unaffected by the surge/bang
