There had been recorded incidents of the batteries in these devices swelling and exploding, causing damage to property and becoming a fire hazard.
It could be seen as a lucky escape for the OP in this case, who could have been overwhelmed by the noxious fumes or further injured by fire if bed covers or other materials had been ignited by the burning 15-inch MacBook Pro.Ī couple of years ago, Apple issued a recall for 15-inch MacBook Pro laptops that were sold between September 2015 and February 27. Fumes issuing from the burning case of the laptop and presumably from the lithium-ion battery itself woke the user, who then proceeded to remove the device from under the bed to a carpeted area, with the resulting fire also burning the carpet. It appears the owner had simply placed the Apple MacBook Pro under their bed for the night and the device was not plugged in for charging. Even though the owner only states they received “minor burns on my hand”, if they hadn’t acted quickly enough the situation could have rapidly escalated into a conflagration that resulted in major property damage and more serious injury. The OP claims to have burned their hand while removing the flaming MacBook Pro from underneath their bed. Reddit user u/Squeezieful posted a couple of images of the damaged 15-inch MacBook Pro (see below), and it is clear to see on the underside that the fire was most likely caused by a faulty battery.
