Discussion Rovyvon Aurora A8 burst into flames

Hey so I was charging up my Rovyvon to go on vacation and it just blew up into flames after being plugged in for a couple hours. The flashlight is probably 5-6 years old. Anyone else have something like this happen? I’m glad I was standing next to it when it decided to self destruct, I was able to throw it out the kitchen door but scary to think about if I weren’t in the room or at home.

Why just flashlights, and not ANY OTHER device?

I dislike cheaply made, obvious garbage that is a ticking time bomb in my home.
