2026-04-14 – A consumer has filed a report with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) alleging that a Metro by T-Mobile T Revvl Tab 2 tablet caused third-degree burns. The incident, reported on January 1, 2026, involves a burn hazard linked to a manufacturing defect. The report is publicly available on the CPSC's SaferProducts.gov database.

Product Details

Brand Name: T Revvl Tab 2
Manufacturer: T-MOBILE
Retailer: Metro
Incident Report Number: 5961672
Severity Type Name: Emergency Department Treatment Received
Severity Type ID: 9

Incident Overview

According to the CPSC report, the consumer alleged that Metro by T-Mobile distributed approximately 2,000 T Revvl Tab 2 tablets to the community where they resided. The consumer stated that the tablet can cause third-degree burns due to a mini microchip located in the camera area. Specifically, the chip is placed on the left top back of the tablet when it is turned sideways in landscape mode, where the camera area rests on the left fingers of the left hand. The consumer reported that this issue was referred to the CPSC.

The consumer further claimed that the Galaxy A15 5G cell phone by T-Mobile uses third-party batteries for extreme extended life, allegedly to connect to surgically implanted microchips. The consumer also alleged that a primary nurse in the emergency room covered up their burn injuries for Metro, T-Mobile, and third parties. These claims are unverified consumer allegations as reported to the CPSC.

Safety Concerns

Immediate Dangers: The reported manufacturing defect involves a mini microchip in the camera area that can generate excessive heat, leading to third-degree burns upon direct skin contact. In landscape mode, the user's left fingers naturally rest on the chip location, increasing the risk of thermal injury during normal use.

Long-Term Risks: Continued use of a defective tablet may result in repeated burns or more severe tissue damage. The microchip's small size could also pose a fire hazard if it malfunctions and ignites nearby materials, potentially causing property damage.

Who Might Be Affected: The primary user holding the tablet in landscape mode is at highest risk. However, bystanders, especially children who may handle the device, could also be exposed to the burn hazard.

Warning Signs: Users may notice localized heat or discomfort in the camera area during use. Any unusual warmth or skin irritation in that region should be taken seriously as a potential precursor to a burn.
