A 13-Year-old girl, Gabbie Fedro suffered second-degree burns while using her cellphone as it was charging.
She had been using her phone (LG d500) while it was plugged into a wall charger. Gabbie said she was shocked by an electric current, which traveled from her phone through her necklace and burned her neck.
She suffered painful second-degree burns and now will have a scar all the way around her neck.
In 2010, a toddler in Colorado suffered third-degree burns after she was apparently shocked by putting an Apple USB cable into her mouth. The cable was plugged into a laptop at the time.
A faulty USB charger was also blamed for the death of a woman in Australia in 2014. The woman had reportedly been electrocuted while talking on the phone. The charger was a knock-off.
A woman in China also was allegedly killed by electrocution while using a faulty charger in 2013. Apple said it would investigate, and later posted a warning to its Chinese website urging consumers not to use third-party chargers.
