A mother is urging people to be careful while using your mobile phone chargers after her daughter was electrocuted.
An unnamed Australian mother took to Facebook to warn parents about the mobile phone chargers.
She wrote in her post that her little girl was ‘thrown across the room’ after she tried plugging the charger. She was electrocuted and started screaming and crying.
The mother wrote on Facebook: ‘My daughter was admitted into the hospital Monday after receiving a pretty bad electrical shock from trying to plug my phone charger in. Unfortunately, this happened right in front of me. I didn’t realise she knew how to attempt to plug in a charger until it was too late.’
‘The power strip she tried plugging the charger into (one end was already plugged in, she tried putting the phone part of charger into the outlet) popped, shot sparks and what looked like flames and black smoke and threw her a few feet across the living room. She was quiet for a few seconds then started screaming and crying’.
In ER, they found an entrance wound but not an exit which worried them that it zapped her heart. The little girl needed to stay overnight to monitor her heart.
Thankfully, the little girl is fine now but she is left with a burn on her hand. The mother added: ‘Even though my house is baby proofed with outlet covers, door stoppers, baby gates, stove knob covers etc, my baby still got hurt from something I stupidly never even considered would be an issue. Needless to say all power strips will be hidden in spots she can not get too from now on.’
The post instantly went viral online, leaving people shocked and scared. Please be careful about the mobile phone chargers or cables. This incident is a warning for all of us. Stay safe!
