2026-04-24 – A lithium battery inside an OGAJO H6 rechargeable stroller fan exploded and ignited a fire inside a home, according to a report filed with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) SaferProducts database. The incident, which occurred on April 5, 2026, involved a manufacturing defect that created a fire or burn hazard. The device was not in use or charging at the time of the failure. Product DetailsBrand Name: OGAJO  Incident OverviewOn April 5, 2026, a consumer reported that the lithium battery in their OGAJO H6 rechargeable stroller fan exploded inside their home, causing a fire. The product was located in a bassinet at the time of the incident. The device was not in use and was not plugged in for charging. The consumer was able to remove the bassinet from the house before the fire caused serious damage, and no injuries were reported. According to the incident report filed with the CPSC, the consumer expressed concern that if the product had been in use with their infant child, or if they had been unable to remove it from the home, the explosion and fire could have resulted in serious injury or death, as well as extensive property damage. The report highlights the dangers of lithium battery failures even when devices are idle. Safety ConcernsImmediate Dangers: When a lithium battery experiences a manufacturing defect, it can enter thermal runaway—a self-accelerating chemical reaction that produces intense heat and flammable gases. This can cause the battery to explode or ignite, posing immediate burn and fire hazards to anyone nearby. Long-Term Risks: Even if a battery does not fail catastrophically, internal defects can lead to gradual degradation, swelling, or leakage. Continued use of a defective battery increases the likelihood of a sudden failure over time. Who Might Be Affected: Infants and young children are particularly vulnerable because they cannot react quickly to escape a fire or explosion. The device in this incident was placed in a bassinet, putting the child at direct risk. Property Damage Potential: Lithium battery fires can spread rapidly and are difficult to extinguish. In this case, the fire could have destroyed the home if the bassinet had not been removed in time. What Our Clients SayWhat Consumers Should DoStop Using Immediately: If your OGAJO H6 fan shows any signs of battery swelling, overheating, or unusual odor, stop using it right away and keep it away from flammable materials. Do Not Attempt Repairs: Do not open the device or try to replace the battery yourself. Improper handling can trigger a fire or explosion. Preserve the Product: Keep the fan and all packaging, receipts, and documentation in a safe place. The product may be needed as evidence in a potential legal claim. Document the Incident: Take photos of the damage, the product, and its surroundings. Write down a detailed account of what happened, including dates and times. Report to the CPSC: File a report on SaferProducts.gov if you experienced a similar issue. This helps regulators identify dangerous products. Check for Recalls: Visit CPSC.gov to see if the OGAJO H6 or similar products have been recalled. Consumers who suffered injury or property damage may want to speak with a product liability attorney to understand their legal options.
