Product: Wyssay XLD-75W01A
Incident Overview
On August 26, 2026, a consumer reported an alarming incident involving their Wyssay 75W USB Power Adapter, model XLD-75W01A. The charging station, which had been purchased through Amazon approximately two years prior and used regularly without issue, was plugged into an electrical outlet on a bedside table.
During the night, a phone was connected to the USB-C/PD fast-charging port, recharging its completely depleted battery. After several hours of charging, the consumer awoke to a strong electrical and burning smell permeating their home. After an initial search, the source was traced to the Wyssay charging station.
Upon closer inspection, the USB-C/PD charging port on the unit showed severe signs of overheating. The interior of the port and the surrounding plastic material had melted and charred significantly. The connector on the charging cable plugged into the port also exhibited heat damage. The consumer immediately disconnected the charging station from the electrical outlet and has not used it since. While there were no injuries, and a potential fire was averted, the consumer expressed significant concern regarding the degree of overheating and melting, particularly given that such devices are often used overnight or left unattended, increasing the risk of a fire.
Safety Concerns
This incident highlights significant safety concerns associated with the Wyssay XLD-75W01A USB Power Adapter:
- Immediate Dangers: The reported severe overheating, melting, and charring indicate a critical risk of thermal runaway. This condition can rapidly escalate, leading to open flames and potentially igniting nearby flammable materials.
- Long-Term Risks: Products exhibiting such extreme overheating are inherently defective and pose a continuous hazard. Even if an initial incident does not result in a fire, continued use of the device could lead to more severe outcomes.
- Who Might Be Affected: Any consumer owning or using the Wyssay XLD-75W01A charging station is potentially at risk. The danger is amplified for those who use the device overnight, while unattended, or near flammable materials such as bedding, curtains, or wooden furniture.
- Property Damage Potential: A fire originating from an overheating charging station could quickly spread, causing extensive damage to property, including furniture, electronics, and potentially leading to structural damage to a home. The incident’s proximity to a bedside table underscores the high risk of property loss and personal danger in residential settings.
