Bangkok was rocked yesterday by the explosion of yet another Apple product, this one following two iPhone-related electrocutions that occurred recently in China.
However, unlike China’s cases, which were allegedly caused by fake chargers, the Thai iPhone user insisted that she used an authorized charger that came with the product’s package.
Twitter user @LookmooNamsaii tweeted a photo of her charred iPhone 4S charger, saying that the blast occurred while the phone was plugged into the wall.
เตือนนะคะ อย่าชาร์ตแบตไปด้วยเล่นไปด้วย ระเบิดจริงๆ ถึงจะเป็นหัวชาร์ตของจริงก็เถอะ เพิ่งเจอมากับตัวเมื่อกี้สดๆเลยค่ะ pic.twitter.com/A4v2cLApF8

Many speculated that the explosion might have been caused by a loose connection between the cord and the charger.
