These common mistakes that increase risks

Beyond loading under the pillow, other habits can also be dangerous:

• Using a poor quality charger  : According to Electrical Safety First, 98% of Apple charger knockoffs fail safety tests.
• Overloading an outlet  : Plugging multiple devices into the same power strip can cause overheating.
• Leaving devices plugged in overnight , especially with older chargers without a regulation system.
• Charging on a bed, sofa or rug  : These surfaces trap heat,  preventing ventilation .
• Using damaged cable  : Frayed wire can cause sparks near flammable materials.

The right reflexes for charging safely

Fortunately, it only takes a few simple steps to limit the risks:

• Always charge on a hard, non-flammable surface , such as a wooden table or desk.
• Never cover the phone  while it is charging.
• Use a CE-certified charger  and avoid non-compliant models.
• Unplug the charger once the battery is full , especially before going to bed.
•  Replace any damaged charger or cable immediately .
• Install smoke detectors , especially in bedrooms.

A small gesture for great security

Many of us charge our devices at night,  out of habit or convenience.  But by changing this simple habit,  we can prevent serious incidents.

As Clean Air UK reminds us:

“A simple gesture like putting your phone in the right place can prevent many tragedies.”
